Force user logoff after 3 days of inactivity

Just want to start off by saying I'm a noob so bear with me.

Background: We have multiple fire stations running Vista Business where there could be 20 users logged onto the PC at any given time, thanks to "fast user switching" We encourage fast user switching its just, the users never log off and after weeks of not rebooting its starting to cause issues.

Goal: I' am trying to write a script or a task that will run that would log off users who have been inactive for 2-3 days. I do not want this to affect the others users who are already logged on the the PC.

Thanks,
Alex :D

Hello Alex, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I'm not sure how to do what you are wanting, but as a workaround for now, you can use Task Manager in an administrator account to log off these users.

Hope this helps some,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I could on a case by case basis but we have about 30 fire stations. The fire fighters will leave the station and the PC will automatically lock, but they are sill logged on. The Fire fighter may not be back for a week or more. Some stations have 20 users logged in at one time, may of which have been inactive for many days. This causes some memory issues. Any other suggestions?
