[Fwd: Re: Update Rebooting from Netlogon Script]

[Keith Lynn]

Chris,
     I'm sorry I wasn't more specific. I was wondering if along with the
shutdown.exe for NT there was another program that would log a user out.
My reason for asking is that I am a sysadmin in charge of a few labs, and
I want to prevent multiple logins. I was just wondering if there was a
command that could be placed into the logon script that would cause NT to
logout. Thanks.
     Keith
