Signout/log off button for RdP users accessing 2012 R2

I am configuring a 2012 R2 machine to provide remote desktop services to a group of users connecting via Wyse terminals
These users currently access a 2008 R2 server
These users are highly non-technical
I am looking for a way to enable them to log off or sign out of their sessions from the desktop
I don't want to force them to go to the Metro/Modern/Touch interface or have to use the Charms bar
Any solutions for this desired user experience?
Thanks
Ben
Thanks Ben

Hi Ben,
you can create Desktop Shortcuts using GPO:
Logoff - calling
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -L
Discconect - calling
C:\WINDOWS\system32\tsdiscon.exe
Alternatively for the Metro UI there is a solution to create shutdown and logoff tiles. Have a look here:

  • How to add a Button on SUS top-right corner ( Near Log off button)

    Hi Experts,
    It's a bit urgent for me. Please give your valuable suggestions to achieve below scenario.
    My requirement is :-
    adding a button on top-right corner(near log-off button) of SUS screen.
    when that button is clicked, a pop-up should appear, which shows a list of supplier IDs.
    SUS user selects a supplier ID from this list.
    Subsequently, PO, Invoices and other documents should be filtered out based on supplier ID selected.
    Request you to help me how to achieve it technically. Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Ratnesh

    Hi,
    is that button really necessary or is it enough to achieve the functionality you are describing?
    If the latter, this is standard SUS.
    When you give that user the SUS admin purchaser role that user gets a 'find supplier' link in the menu at the left hand side.
    In here you can search for the correct supplier (or just press search without parameters and you get a list. When you click on one of the results the user will act as if it is an employee of that supplier. Including only displaying documents of that supplier.

  • How to log off a single AD user from a list of servers

    I have a user account I need to logoff from all servers in a list.  For example domain\user2 needs to be logged off all servers in a list.  Here is what I have so far:
    foreach ($_ in get-content C:/servers.txt)
    {(gwmi win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName$_).Win32Shutdown(4)}
    The problem is all this does is log off the first user in the session list when you are looking at task manager.  How could
    I log off just a specific user?

    This thread on stackoverflow may be useful to you if the user is connected to an RD session on your servers: Powershell Log Off Remote Session 
    As a starting point:
    $server = 'MyServer'
    $username = "domain\usertologoff"
    $session = ((quser /server:$server | ? { $_ -match $username }) -split ' +')[2]
    logoff $session /server:$server
    (the script listed logs the current user off, I changed it to all you to enter the username)

  • Log off button in a web report (bw 3.5)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to add a log off button in my default web template, but it seems not working properly.
    My web template, including simple query result, without user input variable :
    <HTML>
    <!-- BW data source object tags -->
    <object>
             <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
             <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>

             ITEM:            TABLE_1
    </object></P>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    When I click on my button, i'm redirected on a blank page but :
    - if i click on the back browser (IE6) button, I see query results again, without see logon screen.
    - if i stay on the blank page and i relaunch my web template using WAD button 'Execute in browser ...' it doesn't ask me my logon information
    Why ???
    Thanks to help me,
    CG.

    Hi,
    try something like this:
    button, which calls javascript function
    function logoff()
    // releases the current session and calls the log out page
    SAPBWOpenURL(SAP_BW_URL_Get()+'&CMD=LOG_OFF&REDIRECT_URL=/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/WebApplications/htm_logoff.html');
    it works correctly.If you press the button you will be at first loged off and after that redirected to htm_logoff.html (it is a simple html site, which you have to build)

  • Portege R500 logs off spontaneously with no user input

    My Toshiba Portege R500 has a strange problem where it logs off spontaneously without any user input. This has happened since approximately 2 weeks into ownership and happens once or twice per day.
    There is no consistency in when or why this happens. The machine can be idle, or I can be running a variety of software. There is no consistency in the software I have running when it happens. The machine will just suddenly display the Windows XP "logging off" dialog box, then commence log-off. It gets to the "Saving your Settings" stage then hangs. I then need to force a power off and reboot the machine. This happens regardless of whether the machine is running off the battery or mains power.
    This doesn't seem to be heat related, as I would expect heat related problems to simply power the machine off, not actually go through the log off procedure. There is nothing in the event viewer and it does not seem related to any particular software. I have tried recreating my local profile and the problem still occurs.
    My technical services department have been told that Toshiba Support will not look at this problem unless we try a full rebuild of the machine first. I find this a bit extreme and would rather they looked at resolving the problem instead of just wiping the whole thing and re-installing Windows XP.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas what could be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Hello Derek
    Is WXP your own installation or you got WXP recovery media?
    To be honest for such problems is really not easy to find an answer and to find any logical explanation can take hours of investigation. If your case is an isolated case I do not see any sense to spend so many times and because of that I can understand the support guys.
    The fact is that Toshiba must guarantee that recovery image will work well. And because of that they can say: let us make new WXP installation and see if the problem persists. At this point where you make some changes on preinstalled OS and install some non-supported software there is a new situation and it is not easy to offer simply answer to every strange issue.
    I am really interested if someone else will report about the same problem.
    Bye

  • Widgets for Business User Access to SC Approval

    We learnt with SRM 7.0, widgets would have been one of the distincting features. Does anyone know what it takes to setup one ? Widgets Features.
    Widgets for Business user access (pre-packaged and custom)
    Process controlled SRM Business Workflow
    Harmonized, UI for seamless usability across ERP and SRM
    Robust mobile and desktop support
    Non-disruptive innovation via EhP
    Easy, low-cost customization with WebDynpro

    I did not try this, but maybe I've got an idea...
    You can catch the onload event of the BP form and the switch record event (First, Previous, Next & last record button in the data menu). The first (onload) do you need when someone enters the BP form by clicking elsewhere on a linked button. The other you need when someone is walking through the records on the BP form. (by accessing the form using the menu)
    Catching those two events, you can get the value of the BP Code field, and check if the current user is allowed to see it. If not, disable (if they are not allowed to edit) or hide (when not allowed to see) the items on the screen (that are a lot of items, I know) and display a nice message that they are not allowed to edit/view that BP.
    The ID's of the form and the buttons:
    - FormUID BP: 134
    - MenuUID First record: 1290
    - MenuUID Previous record: 1288
    - MenuUID Next record: 1289
    - MenuUID Last record: 1291
    Hope it helps...

  • Log off option for Default_IC technical profile

    Hi All,
    I am using Default_IC technical profile for interaction centre. Pl help to include Log off button in the Web UI.
    Anita

    Thank you, Laurens Brand, for your prompt reply.
    I tried the "Select All Text", no change.
    I have been using all of my add-ons for months now and have not installed any new ones for months as well, but do have several updates though. No, I don't have "Gmail No Logout" add-on.
    However, when I restarted Firefox with ALL add-ons DISABLED, they all came back. So it must be one of the add-ons' updates that is causing the problem. I guess I'll take some time to disable them one by one to see which one is causing the problem.
    I'll post my result here once I finished.
    Thank you.

  • My Macbook will not boot the operating system.  It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off.  I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the old mac os disk.

    My macbook will not boot.  It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off.  I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.

    Rich

    You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

  • Specify log off page for each system in WebUI

    I am trying to define log off URL for the CRM WebUI. I have been able to define the URL on the technical profile. The problem for me is that the url points to a system specific page. In other words, when I define in the development system that I want to go to the logon page when I log off I use the URL of that points there. When this customizing later is transported to the quality system and later to the production system, the log off URL still points to the log on page of the development system.
    Is there any way to specify that this url points to the log on page of the system that were logged off?

    Hi Erik,
    this is not possible in the SAP standard AFAIK.
    The URL in the customizing of the technical role profile is read using the method CL_CRM_UI_TP_SRV->GET_URL_PART( ). In order to implement your requirement you could, e.g. implement a custom table containing the client, system name and URL. Additionally, you could then enhance CL_CRM_UI_TP_SRV->GET_URL_PART( ) using an implicit enhancement spot to read this custom table an return the entry for the system ID if present and the default customizing otherwise.
    Best,
    Christian

    You can use the built-in Notes app to write and store.  You can get more sophisticated writing apps from the App Store.  Browse a list here:  http://appshopper.com/search/?search=Text+writer
    On the Apple wireless keyboard, press the right end of the battery tube to turn the keyboard on and off.  Unscrew the left end cap to replace the batteries.
