I've got a XP Pro network workgroup at my home and I
would like to set up the children's computers to log out
at a specific time, even if they are actively doing
something. I have set the login times for their accounts
use the net user command and that works well but once
their "lights out" time comes and they are logged in,
nothing forces them out. I usually set up their accounts
with user access and nothing more. The scheduled AT
command to run the shutdown.exe comes and goes without
effect. Any help would be appreciated.

It would be helpful if you posted the exact shutdown.exe
command in this thread. You could also use shutdown2.exe
(from the files area of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinTips-Tricks/)

Lastly: How exactly did you schedule the the shutdown command?
With at.exe? With the Task Scheduler GUI? Under which account?
Does it execute? Did you try to schedule a test batch file, e.g.
something like this:
@echo off
echo %date% %time% > c:\test.log
c:\tools\shutdown.exe /.....

What's in c:\test.log?
