Logout Network User

[Guest]

Hello all,

We have a network about 70+ users. We run a client-server program that need
to reindex the database every night. The problem is, if any user open the
application in the client station, the database will be locked and the
reindexing job will have problem.

My question, is there any 3rd party application that run on the server to
log out network user from the server ?

We are using Win2K server and the client are either W2K prof or XP prof.

I tried to search on the internet for weeks, some suggestion like "net
account ...", Group policy.., NetSessionDel., has been tried but none of this
work.

I have a small utility to installed in client station to shut down the
station in a preset time. We don't want to use it as we have to install it on
every system and hard to manage.

Thanks,
Eddie

If you are running MS SQL you can disconnect all database users using a
script, run from a maintenance job, and put the database in single user
mode until the index is done.
