Windows Server Forum / Windows Server 2003 / Security / July 2007How to force User log off when time expires?
I want to force a user to log off when his logon hours expire. In the Network Security category (under Group Policy), I enabled the Force Logoff When Logon Hours Expire policy, but users are never logged off. I running Windows Server 2003 as a standalone (no domain or AD). the server is just a rubust workstation, but allow remote users to log in simultaneously. Is it possible to log users off in this case? Not without being able to specify logon hours in the account. I believe that feature is only in the domain profile. > I want to force a user to log off when his logon hours expire. > In the Network Security category (under Group Policy), I enabled the Force [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Is it possible to log users off in this case? So, specifyig logon hours with net user /time is not applicable? The user is now restricted from logging on based on the times set in net user, but they are never logged off if they account is already logged on when the time expires. > Not without being able to specify logon hours in the account.

The time set in the network security policy you mentioned only controls network access and will close off sessions to network shares based on the logoff time; it has nothing to do with local login sessions. >> Not without being able to specify logon hours in the account.

I not very familiar with Windows scripting, but I'm just curious to know if what I want to do is possible on a local machine. > > So, specifyig logon hours with net user /time is not applicable? > > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >> > > >> > Is it possible to log users off in this case?

Shutdown.exe can be used to reboot a box not just shutdown. So if you have a time set for all users not to logon because of backup schedules or whatever, a Shutdown command with a R switch will reboot the system. > Shutting down the computer isn't an option, but thanks for all the responses. > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > > > >> > > > > > >> > Is it possible to log users off in this case? Thanks again Rob. It's just that rebooting the machine is not what I want. There are only specific users 2 of 5 that need to be forced to logoff if their time expires. The other users may be active or simply have tasks running that rebooting will kill. I guess this is just a limitation of Windows Server 2003 standalone. > Shutdown.exe can be used to reboot a box not just shutdown.

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. I'll check with some folks when I get back in the office on Tuesday to see if there is a script that you can run to force logoff the user. > Thanks again Rob.

Hey, thanks. I'd appreciate that. I hope to hear from you again. > Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I checked with our CPR team and they don't have a script. Looks like you will have to use the shutdown -l command in a scheduled task. > Hey, thanks. I'd appreciate that.

Thanks Rob and tin. the shutdown /i option affects all users so this wont work. Thanks though for your attention. I has been much appreciated. s.ali > Hey, thanks. I'd appreciate that.
