 +===== Force Log Off ===== 
 + 
 +We have noticed a problem with RDS (Remote Desktop) sessions when using certain applications: 
 + 
 +  * **Microsoft Office Applications** {{ :networking:windows:rds_logoff_hangs.png?300|Hung at Signing Out}} 
 +    * Word 
 +    * Excel 
 +    * Outlook 
 +  * **ServiceCEO** 
 + 
 +When a user leaves certain applications running when they click ''Sign Out'', the RDS session may be disconnected but left in a state of ''Signing Out''...forever. 
 + 
 +Here is a simple way to kill the running apps causing the problem: 
 + 
 +<file> 
 +taskkill.exe /F /IM ServiceCEO.exe /IM excel.exe /IM outlook.exe /IM winword.exe 
 +</file> 
 + 
 +The session will normally complete the ''Sign Out'' once the problem apps are closed. 
 + 
 +In the Parallels RAS environment, we have also found that you can simply publish a remote app that does this remotely. 
 + 
 +{{ :networking:windows:parallels_ras_publish_logoff.png?750 |Published Force Logoff}} 
 + 
 +To use the published ''Force Logoff'' app, one will probably need to **minimize the ''Signing Off'' screen**, then execute the ''Force Logoff'' published application. 
 + 
 +{{ :networking:windows:remote_desktop_connection_bar.png?700 |Minimize Full-Screen RDS Session}} 
 + 
 +{{ :networking:windows:parallels_ras_client_logoff.png?650 |Then Run the Force Logoff Published App}}
