Ok then the trick to do this via cmd line will be to know the user's
session number....

 

Assuming this needs to be automated you could have the app session they
are trying to reset write the current session number to a text file each
time they login. Then they can run a script that parses that text file
and does a Reset winsta session number

 

Might have to mess with it some to make it full proof but it could be
done.

FYI - I just tested this and a regular user CAN reset their own sessions

        First we need to test this. Create a regular user, log them into
a desktop and run tsadmin and see if you can reset your own session.

         

        If that works we can work from that.

        Ron, that's a great start.  Now how would I set up a function
for the user to use?  Can I do this with a batch script, or would it be
better as a VB script?

                Someone tell me if I am wrong but I believe someone with
user permissions CAN reset their own session but no one else's. At least
I remember seeing this happen before at a client when their security
team went through the system with us this is one weird thing they found.
This had to be a year ago or so..

                Hello everyone.  I have a need to allow users of
published applications (running on PCs via NFuse 1.7) to reset their own
sessions.  I don't want to grant them Admin rights.  Does anyone know of
a way to do this?  I am hoping to find a script or program that I can
give to the user that will allow them to ONLY reset their own sessions.

                Thanks for the help!
