GCPW (Force logoff Windows)

[danielmagalhaes]

Goodnight. Sorry for improvising in English. I'm an admin for a workspace account. I have a question: After blocking the device when using GCPW, is it possible to force Windows to log off?

GCPW doesn't support this. If device is enrolled into MDM, there's a custom command but it is sent to all users' devices in the OU so it gets tricky to apply to a single device: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Reboot/RebootNow

Hi @emreknlk 

What about this command in the admin console?

Sign users out of their Google Account on Windows 10 devices

The sign out function here isn’t same as Windows logoff/logout. This one and other link you pasted signs out user from Google account so they need to reauth to Google in order to login to Gmail Drive etc but user is still logged in to Windows. Depends on the Admin’s goal, this can be used for added protection.

Ah, that's an important difference.

But why wouldn't it sign them out of all devices, as that is exactly what it says the action is supposed to do?

And of course the simpler and broader...
