vbs to logoff

Hello
I need to create a simple script that will run "shutdown -f -l -t00"
I want to schedule this script so that pcs will logoff at a specific time.
I know I can do this via a batch file but I would rather do this in a
script if possible.
Thanks in advance!

Look at schtasks.exe under Windows XP.

I guess what I really need is a script that will automate the setup for
the scheduled task. I need to set this up on multiple machines and if I
had a script it would make the setup time shorter.
If I had a sample script I will be able to customize it for my needs.
Thanks

Does this help? It will force a logoff of a remote computer. It can
easily be modified for multiple computers.

*** Watch for word wrap***
strComputer = "SomeComputer"
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(0)
Next
