Creating a Script to run at logoff
My company uses AutoCAD Civil3D2009 on all there workstations. They just released an update patch for it and I have to update all of our workstations. I was considering adding a line to our logon script to silently install the patch but I cant do that since it would take about 20 minutes to install and I dont want to risk corrupting the install since they tend to open up AutoCAD as soon as there computer boots up.
Could someone help me create a logoff script that would execute when the user logs off the network? Maybe I'm over thinking this but i dont want this to keep installing once its done so i'd like it to look for or create a file so it would run if the file doesnt exist.
the line I would use would be something like this:
\\servername\path\c3d2009sp3.exe /q

Thats assuming that users actually log off or actually shutdown. I've seen people leave their PC logged in and unlocked/locked throughout the night. Others just push the power button to turn it off because its quicker... -

Well maybe im just lucky but my users are all engineers and know better. They always loggoff or shutdown at the end of the night. -

You're lucky then. I know plenty of engineers that are terrible about stuff like this.
