Suppress confirmation prompts

Does anyone know how to suppress confirmation prompts for commands in Server
2008?

I have used logoff with the session ID in a script/batch since NT4 and MS
seems to have changes Server 2008 to require confirmation. more of that
don't run with scissors safety stuff in Vista

The message displayed is:

If you reset this session, all users using this protocol will be logged off,
Continue (n=no)?

I've tried all the tricks from the past and they seem to be masked.

One that works from the command line directly is the tried and true >nul,
however it doesn't work from within a .cmd

logoff 1 /server:MYFILESERVER /v >nul

Any clues?

Let's have a look at the your batch file!

Tried all the following. Some work some don't as far as the logoff operation
is concerned.

But no matter what, ALL will produce the prompt confirmation message,

If you reset this session, all users using this protocol will be logged
off, Continue (n=no)?

either halting execution of the script or at the end of the script, which
leaves a cmd open waiting for a user to confirm.



@echo on
rem cmd /q /c start logoff /server:cdvcxp01 3 <echo y
rem cmd /q /c start logoff /server:cdvcxp01 2 <echo y

rem cmd /q /c start logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem cmd /q /c start /i /b logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem cmd /q /c start /i /b logoff 1 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul

rem cmd /q /c start /i /b logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem cmd /q /c start /i /b logoff 1 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul

rem start /i /b logoff 3 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem start /i /b logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem start /i /b logoff 1 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul

rem start /i logoff 3 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem start /i logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul
rem start /i logoff 1 /server:cdvcxp01 >nul

rem start /i /b logoff 4 /server:cdvcxp01
rem start /i /b logoff 3 /server:cdvcxp01
rem start /i /b logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01
rem start /i /b logoff 1 /server:cdvcxp01

start /i logoff 4 /server:cdvcxp01
start /i logoff 3 /server:cdvcxp01
start /i logoff 2 /server:cdvcxp01
start /i logoff 1 /server:cdvcxp01

Why do you use cmd.exe to invoke the Start command to run the logoff
command? Logoff.exe by itself would be quite sufficient!

@echo off
logoff /server:cdvcxp01 3

The above command works nicely on my Windows 2003 server. At the moment I
don't have a Windows 2008 server to test it on.

I take it you don't know, so rather than answer the question, you ask
another.

Thanks anyway.

I pointed out that your elaborate command syntax adds some unnecessary
complication to the task, which may well cause your problem. It's up to you
to decide if you wish to test the simplified syntax.
