Well, you can do it manually if you set up NetMeeting, VNC or some other
remote access tool.  Unfortunately, I think you wanted to do all this via a
script and I don't know how to do that. My only suggestion is to use one of
the other shutdown tools that were mentioned. One of them might reboot
despite the locked console.

Not much help, huh?

  I am aware of the ability with Windows 2003 to connect to console session
from remote sessions. The Citrix boxes I am speaking of are running on Win2k
TS. Also running Citrix MF XP FR3.

  A few weeks ago I was looking for alternative ways to run tsshutdn because
every once in a while the reboot would get hung up. After more discovery and
testing what I have found is that when someone locks the server console
without logging off when the tsshutdn command later tries to run but cannot
and the server ends up becoming unresponsive to ICA connections. Though can
still logon via console.

  Is there a command or way to unlock a locked console session to prevent
what is happening without actually being at the console? Another solution
may be to prevent people being able to lock a console session if that is
possible - probably with system policies can do it.
