Hello...
I am looking for a way that i can initiate a force log off at a specified time. For example in a lab that closes at midnight I would like at 12:30am for the computer to log off whoever is still logged on. Any ideas how this could be possible in Win2k? Rebooting is not an option as the machines are rendering after midnight and rebooting screws up the renders that were in process.

thanks in advance
:o)

Hi
I have not tried this, but try to Stop the Server Service for a min and Start the Service again. This should logoff all user from the Server.
If this help, you can schedule this using AT command.

If the machines are on an NT/2K domain, you can force a user to log off from the server. I assume all users must log into a domain to gain access in your situation.

On NT4, go to the User Manager for Domains. Go to Policies to Account. At the bottom, you have a check box that can force a log off. This will only happen if the remote systems are NT/2K workstations.

I am not sure how to do this on 2k servers.
