Remote logoff?

OK, I need to know how to log off a user remotely. If the user of another computer on the LAN leaves their computer logged in, how can I log them off remotely? I'm not a script writer or user, so if that's part of your answer if you could give full detailed instructions on setting that up, thanks.

I can use commands to reboot or shutdown the computer remotely, but not logoff. One Idea I had was to make a batch file with the logoff command on that PC, but how do I make that computer run that batch file on demand???

There also won't be specific times we need to do this, so scheduling tasks for times won't really apply either. What the heck am I missing here?
TIA,
Mark

May only work for XP Pro--

Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Computer Management -- Right click on Computer Management (Local) and say Connect to another computer.

Select the computer name

Now right click on Computer Management (for the remote machine) and go to Properties.

Advanced tab... then Startup/Recovery button.

Click the shutdown button.

One of the options is to Log Off. You may need to Force Programs Closed or it might get stuck at a "Do you want to save your document" if they had Word or something open. (You should keep that in mind.)



Of course under XP Pro you could just enable remote desktop and have many more powers...
