The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Script to force a reestart when a user performs a Log off (Windows)

Asked by llarava in VB Script, Scripting Languages

I have the following script that when executed force a Windows computer to reboot.

If I manually run the script the computer reboots fine. If I run the script on when the user logs off
(via GPO).

I get the error message shown in the picture.

Does anybody know how to modifiy this script so I don't get the error message and the forced reboot gets completed?

Or any other script that I can use to force a reboot so far I have tried with these two but neither worked when applied to a log off:

1.)

Set OpSysSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")
 
for each OpSys in OpSysSet
    OpSys.Reboot()
next

2.)

Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")'restart, wait 5 seconds, force running apps to close
oShell.Run "%comspec% /c shutdown /r /t 5 /f", , TRUE

Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Debug,Shutdown)}")
For Each opSys In objWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem")
 intRet = opSys.Win32Shutdown(2+4,0)
 If intRet <> 0 Then
  WScript.Echo "Error attempting reboot: " & intRet
 End If 
Next
