Logoff Script

[dragonslayer49]

Do you know where I can find a log off script which will automatically logoff a user after certain time limit.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

What if you made a scheduled task and had it execute when the computer was idle? You could call shutdown.exe to force the logoff....not necessarily a vbscript, though you could use one to take care of some of this for you....short answer...nothing easy or straight forward to accomplish what you want....and similar questions have been asked before and many have given their ideas about how to handle something like this.

You will need to use a login script to do this so you can start a countdown timer. Then you can use WMI to force loggoff. The trick is using DateAdd to figure out the desired logoff time. Change the [red]red[/red] values for your desired session length.
