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

Asked by llarava in VB Script, Windows Batch Scripting, Powershell

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

I have re-opened this question again since I would like to know if someone else can help out with a solution via script at the log off with no AT tasks scheduled on the background.

This is the old question with further information.

For Each opSys In objWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem")
 intRet = opSys.Win32Shutdown(2+4,0)
 If intRet <> 0 Then
  WScript.Echo "Error attempting reboot: " & intRet
