General Scripting - Active pc connections

Hello,

i have the following problem and any help will be very much appriciated:

I need to write a script (.bat) that warns me before windows closure that active Lan connections with my pc are active (if any).

the way i intend to automate script execution is to schedule it with planned windows operations.. and the notification should be a dialog box that asks for shutdown approval !

I only know the cmd's to get the active connections and .. but the part of finding ( iteratively check the output of netstat cmd.) is complicated for me.

Thanks in advance !

Windows already warns you if others are connected to your computer when you attempt to shut down.

Nope. Sounds like someone has suppressed the default message or set Windows to perform a forced shutdown.[/url]

Well, I can try. I've never actually tried to do this before and there's no documented way that I'm aware of. However, if you're using Active Directory, this might work for you.

vb Code:

' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------
strServer = "<ServerName>"  ' e.g. dc01
strSite   = "<SiteName>"    ' e.g. MySite1
' ------ END CONFIGURATION ---------
 
set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
set objNTDSCont = GetObject("LDAP://cn=NTDS Settings,cn=" & strServer & _
                            ",cn=servers,cn=" & strSite & ",cn=sites," & _
                             objRootDSE.Get("configurationNamingContext") )
objNTDSCont.Filter = Array("ntdsConnection")
WScript.Echo "Connection objects for " & strSite & "\" & strServer
for each objConn in objNTDSCont
   if objConn.Get("options") = 0 then
      Wscript.Echo "  " & objConn.Get("cn") & " (MANUAL)"
   else
      Wscript.Echo "  " & objConn.Get("cn") & " (AUTO)"
   end if
next
