Is there any way to automatically logout users so we can backup the
Quickbooks files nightly. Users just can't seem to remember.

Too simple. Log them out, change their password. Give them hell aboutMike said:I would call them at home, when they are still logged on and have them come

This is more of an application issue than an OS issue. ManyAre we particularly hostile today? This is an OS issue. A user should
be able to set a system to shut off applications automatically. 50
million transistors in a P4 should be able to be programmed to do
something useful once in a while.
Yes, an app like that should have that feature. For the crap thatVictor Roberts said:This is more of an application issue than an OS issue. Many
applications can be set to close if there is no user activity after a
set amount of time. To paraphrase you, "X programmers at Intuit should
be ale at add something useful to QB once in a while."

So if these emplyees are not logging off at the end of the day what isThis is a management issue. If employees are doing something they aren't
suppose to be doing (are aren't doing something they should be), and there
are no consequences, the behavior will continue. What other stuff is going

Let me put it this way: My Windows machines lock up oftenThat's a good receipt for file corruption with Qbooks.
