Re: Force all user log off

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Another way would be to make the software reject the backup of an open file, thus, preserving in the backup database (or tape library), of the older copy of the file that's online. if you do backups every night, one should have *A* version that would be "close enough"...

Wouldn't another alternative be to get an add-on for the backup software to allow you to backup open files?

Sorry if this is basic, but a basic user here:

Is there a way to automate in Win2003 Server a force an all user log off event at a certain time of day every day, say just before a backup procedure runs?

Thank you in advance for any help and advice.
