I have scripted IOff.bat to schedule a user log off after nnn minutes of
inactivity, on all the domain workstations.
IOff.bat uses PsShutdown.exe, which it will copy to each workstation.
To schedule the task, IOff.bat uses SchTasks.exe, which is built into Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and later.
It is best to run IOff.bat from Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003, while logged on as a member of the Domain Admins group,
but you could run it from your Windows 2000 workstation if you implement tip 5335.
The syntax for using IOff.bat is:
IOff IdleMinutes folder
Where IdleMinutes is the number of minutes, between 1 and 999, that the user must be idle before they are logged off, and
folder is the path to PsShutdown.exe on the workstation that runs IOff.bat. PsShutdown.exe will be copied to this path
on all the workstations. If folder does NOT exist on a member computer, it will be created.
NOTE: IOff.bat does NOT schedule the IOff task on the workstation that runs IOff.bat.
NOTE: IOff.bat uses NETDOM.EXE to enumerate domain workstations. NETDOM.EXE is built into Windows XP and later,
or installed on the Windows 2000 computer that runs IOff.bat, from the Support Tools on the operating system CD-ROM.
IOff.bat contains:
@echo off
