Force log off

Variable group:

Maintenance Plan

Description:

Use this variable for Windows Terminal Servers and Citrix Servers to specify whether users must be logged off to run maintenance.

If Forcefully log off users is enabled, the Installer checks whether users are logged on at the start of the installation phase, and automatically logs them off. The server is restarted when the installation is complete.
If Forcefully log off users is not enabled, the Installer waits until all users have actively logged off even after the log off phase is finished.

We recommend that you exercise caution when using the Forcefully log off users option.
- All running processes are terminated without any further notice and without saving data.
- Server-stored profiles are not rewritten.

Possible values:
