You can use a logon/logoff script for all users with: 'SCHTASKS /create /sc daily /mo 1 /st 15:00:00 /tn shutdown /tr "c:windowssystem32shutdown.exe -f -s" /ru <username> /rp <password>' Check the time for your requirements. It will work for you. Do update us again. Thank you Anil ------------------------ Lepide Softwares Pvt. Ltd. http://www.lepide.com/exchange-manager/
