Hello I'm wondering how i can notify ALL my users that is currently logged in on their client computers that there will be a maintainance and such? the msg command does not work for me i've tried.

Additional question: Can i force a user to log off from a computer so it logs off immidiatly?

Wish you could have a panel where you could see the active sessions on what client and what user and just right click to log off and alot other stuff

@Drifter104 Both parts are actually addressed in the marked answer of the question you're linking to. – notjustme Sep 04 '15 at 13:34
@notjustme That would shutdown/restart but OP said log off – Drifter104 Sep 04 '15 at 13:37
@Drifter104 Oh right, my bad... – notjustme Sep 04 '15 at 13:38
Can you make that run commands on ALL pc at the same time instead of specirfying that individual computer @Drifter104 – Tobias Karlsen Sep 04 '15 at 14:47
@TobiasKarlsen I imagine you could run it inside PowerShell so I don't see why not. Either with a get-adcomputer (filter) or import-csv – Drifter104 Sep 04 '15 at 14:49
Any Ideas of some third party software? – Tobias Karlsen Sep 04 '15 at 16:37
