Hello,

Is any way to close an application on remote users workstation?

Example: I have 20 remote users who is running a NOTEPAD.exe.

So I need to close the notepad - let say at 9PM.

Thanks in advance,
Gennadiy

Certainly. If you have 24x7 Remote Agents setup on these computers you can stop any application at any time.

Unfortunately we do not have Remote Agent running on these PC.
Is any work around?

Do you have Windows scheduling service running (AT)? if yes, you can setup a task to run some external utility capable to kill your application. Search the Internet for such utility.

Still I would recommend using 24x7 Agents that will allow to setup and manage this job in one central place as well as allow error processing in case if the user process cannot be closed. Another thing is that the Remote Agents can be used to close the process gracefully by closing process main window or sending some keystroke to it before attempting to kill the process forcibly.

I also find a task Scheduler that can be also used for this purpose.
