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.
