software to logoff network users

[Guest Computerguy]

We have a problem in our school district where users forget to

logoff. Does anyone know of a reputable software that can logoff

users at a certain time ? We are actually trying to have computers

shutdown in order to save the district some money. Thanks.

You can log them off via group policy and set times they can log in or you

can schedule a task to shut the node down via shutdown.exe.

There's a logoff screensaver - or you can use shutdown.exe & a scheduled

task. However, any unsaved items will be lost.

I'd suggest that you instead try changing the workstation power schemes to

go into standby after X hours of idle time -

Thanks for the reply and sorry I am responding so late. We tried the

shutdown.exe, but there is a command line switch needed and we are not

sure how to distribute it by group policy.
