Need to close Outlook from VBScript

[dgschnei]

I have a batch driven vbscript for daily and weekly (zipped) backups.
I want to backup my mail.
I need to close Outlook and save before zipping the Outlook mail files.

I can close Outlook using vbscript or batch file... whatever is easier.

How can I close Outlook?

I came up with this script but I am trying no to use sendkeys, because I am not sure if Outlook will be activated (visible) and sendkeys may be sent to another running application.

set ws = CreateObject("WScript.shell")

ws.Run "Outlook"
WScript.sleep 300
ws.AppActivate "Inbox - Microsoft Outlook"
WScript.sleep 300
ws.sendkeys "%f+L" ' alt-f

set ws = Nothing

Any idea?
Any help is welcomed, thanks in advance.

Hello dqschnei,

It is this for the local.

set svc=getobject("winmgmts:root\cimv2")
squery="select * from win32_process where name='outlook.exe'"
for each oproc in svc.execquery(squery)
	oproc.terminate
next
set svc=nothing
