Force logout

[ITCC]

I wish to force logout automatically on new host registration.
The tick box is under Active Directory but can be used without the rest of the AD items.

Can you force this on in FOG_Settings or do i need to say add to domain after setting the defaults. Issue there is the “Join Domain” will also be ticket and is not desired.

Thanks in advance.

I looked into the forum and found this being requested but it didn’t look like it was completed.

@ITCC Please explain in more detail what you mean. Logout from what account and when. I don’t want to read between the lines und start guessing.

Please post the link of the other forum topic here as well.

When we add a new host, can this tick be enabled by default, without having to say yes to AD at registration?

I tried to find it again and I can’t.
I’ll have another look.

Regardless, please can it be made possible.

@ITCC Let us know what exactly you are trying to achieve. The AD settings are meant to be used for domain join and from what you write I get the impression that you want to misuse “Name Change/AD Join Forced reboot” to forcefully log off people from their machines. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding on my side but you keep calling it “force logout” and therefore I get the impression.

There are other ways of doing this. The web is full of it:

• https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-to-force-logoff-from-command-line/8e7507e0-12c8-4ac7-8d5e-a1917e4af997 (using shutdown /l /f command)

If you can’t make it work this way you need to explain to us what exactly you want to do. We won’t change this otherwise!

Just as a side node: I have not really looked into what needs to be changed but I can imagine this being a change in the fog-client code as well. There are many other things that needs fixing before we’d get to change that in fog-client.

You are more than welcome to dig through the code yourself and implement the change. I am not saying it cannot be done.
