Vista - 64 bit help needed - shutdown

04-27-2009

Trying to implement logoff, much like

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject_
("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
objOperatingSystem.Win32Shutdown(1)
Next

which doesn't work in 64bit windows. Error is SWbemObjectEx: Generic failure

Anyone know how to logoff a 64bit windows via vbscript?

thanks.

It might be easier to just do a shutdown /l command launched from
VBScript.

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.run "%comspec% /C shutdown /L"
