Have you tried Microsoft hotfix 829395?

The Terminal server does not automatically shut down when the TSShutdn.exe
command is invoked in Windows 2000
CAUSE
This problem occurs if an administrator logs on to the Terminal server and then
locks the computer before the
TSShutdn.exe command is invoked. This problem does not occur if the computer is
not locked when the TSShutdn.exe command
is invoked. If the computer is locked, the TSShutdn.exe command cannot shut
down the computer.

I tried earlier today to logoff console session via 'logoff' and did not seem
to work?
Did not know about Win2k console session for remote user. Thanks

Steve,
I had to log into a remote client server to check, but the "logoff" command in
a script setup as a scheduled task, WILL
log off the console session so that Tsshutdn will properly shutdown the server.
This is on Win2k TS servers.
And BTW - you can use the "/console" switch when connecting to RDP sessions on
win2k servers as well . . not just win2k3
servers. Open up taskmanager when in your session, select "view" - "select
colums" and check the box for "session ID" to
see that you're indeed logged in as Session ID "0" to the servers.

Yes prefer script.
I think perhaps it is a limitation.
The 'logoff' command works with any session except the console session.
The tsshutdn usually runs during early am hours so manual will not do the trick.
Tried a few other tools with no success yet.
Thanks

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.
