Hello all fans of RoyalTS. Version 1.6 has one big new option. Tasks. Behind this options are most of the things you can imagine. One function i always missed is a logoff of one or better many active sessions with on click. I wrote a little script for that. Feel free to use it (at your own risk) and/or change it for your own needs.

Create a Task item in RoyalTS 1.6 with this script:
Taskname: What ever you want
Command: psexec.exe
Arguments: \\$Host$ -c -u yourdomain\$User$ -p $Password$ LogOffRDPSession.cmd $Host$ $User$
Working Directory: C:\Program Files\code4ward\Royal TS

Please remark: all commands and script must be in the Working Directory with the above settings. You can change this for your own needs.

The script:
Copy the part between 'Script Start' and 'Script End', paste it in Notepad and Save it as 'LogOffRDPSession.cmd'.
Usage: LogOffRDPSession.cmd Server User
Server = Server with the running RDP Session
User = User with sufficent rights

Hi,

there is a command i have used in the past which finishes my RDP session, but doesn't actually log off the user/me it just gets rid of the screen lock and leaves the client computer as a normal working screen (not too sure if that makes sense).  Is there a way of getting this command to work as a task?  (normally i have it as a saved shortcut on the client PC).

%windir%\System32\tscon.exe 0 /dest:console

(i have only managed to get this to work on an XP machine, would love to know how to do the same on a vista machine)

When you have configured the script as a task in Royal TS you can select a folder or the document to get the list of all your connections on the right hand side. In the list you can filter to only show active connections. Select all your active connections and start the task. That should do the trick.

cheers

 Hi,

you should also start Royal TS as Administrator by right-clicking Royal TS ans selecting Run As Administrator. By default, Royal TS starts as user, when you use tasks, it is recommended to start Royal TS as admin. You can also open the shortcut properties and configure it to always open as Admin.

Hope this helps.

cheers,

Stefan

 I'm afraid the logging level will not help much. At this point, Royal TS has no control anymore what's happening. Royal TS will take the command line and just executes what it should do. You can try to manually start the process in the command prompt:

change to the directory C:\Program Files\code4ward\Royal TS (or whatever you configured in the task) and execute the following line:

psexec.exe \\$Host$ -c -u yourdomain\$User$ -p $Password$ LogOffRDPSession.cmd $Host$ $User$

of course you need to replace all your variables ($Host$, etc.) with real values, put the logoffrdpsessions.cmd in the working directory (or provide the full path to it) and see what happens.

 Didn't know that great little MS tool! Thanks for sharing this very useful info.

cheers and a happy new year to you too...
