Introduction

As with every new version of Windows Server there are always some changes. with logging out of Server 2016 there are a few new ones. One of those is logging out of the server itself.

It is also very good to know many different ways to log out as in some instances one method may not work.

In this post we will cover a few different ways to log out. We’ll cover some different methods of logging out through both the graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface (CLI).

GUI Option 1

• Left click the Start button from the bottom left corner.
• Left click your username from the top left corner of the start menu.
• Left click “Sign Out”.

GUI Option 2

• Right click the Start button from the bottom left corner.
• Hover over “Shut down or sign out”.
• Left click “Sign Out”.

GUI Option 3

• From the Shut Down Windows pop up that opens, change the “What do you want the computer to do?” drop down to “Sign Out” and click the OK button.

Conclusion

From this post we see there are several ways you can log out of Windows Server 2016. As stated above it is always good to have many ways to log out as some instances are not always available.

Windows Server in its different versions give us a range of useful options for the management and delivery of roles and services not only to the server itself but also to the client computers of the domain, hence the importance of always preserving the availability and security of this..

For administrative or support reasons, at specific times it will be necessary to shut down or restart the server for a period of time. This should only be carried out with specific orders and knowing in advance that all users are aware of this task, since otherwise we can cause failures in certain activities or prevent communication and access to shared resources.

It is well known by each of us who have or are working in Windows Server that the shutdown and restart process is usually carried out through the Start menu and by clicking on the shutdown button:

But if in TechnoWikis we tell you that this process can be done through the command line , would you do it? We already told you that managing the shutdown or restart of Windows Server can be done through commands and it is quite simple. Therefore TechnoWikis will explain some commands to perform this task and this process applies in Windows Server 2012, 2016 or 2019 equally..

1. Shut down or restart Windows Server 2019, 2016, 2012 with Shutdown command

To use the command line, a general command called «shutdown» will be implemented, which has been integrated in all editions of Windows. Its elementary function is to turn off or restart the local or remote computer, to be taken into account, when we use this command without any parameter the device will shut down or restart immediately.
The general syntax of this command is the following:

 shutdown [{-l | -s | -r | -a}] [-f] [-m [\\ device]] [-t xx] [-c "message"] [-d [u] [p] : xx: yy] 

2. Restart Windows Server 2019, 2016, 2012 with Shutdown command

Knowing the use of the shutdown command, we will see how to restart our Windows Server from the terminal.

Step 1

For an immediate restart we will execute the following. Pressing Enter will restart the system automatically.

 shutdown / r / t 0 

Step 2

We can enter the period of time in seconds in which the system will be restarted, for example, if we want it to restart in 1 minute we will enter the following:

 shutdown / r / t 60 

Step 2

The following pop-up window will automatically be displayed:

Step 3

There is indicated the time that we have defined, so, after one minute the system will be restarted:

Step 4

Now, in case of having active applications and we want to force their closing, we must execute the following:

 shutdown / r / f 

Step 5

In the same way, if we manage networked equipment, we can restart them remotely using the following syntax:

 shutdown / r / f / m \\ EQUIPMENT 

Step 6

If we want to customize the restart, we can enter a message using the -c parameter like this:

 shutdown / r / t 45 -c "TechnoWikis Restart" 

Step 7

As a result we will see the following:

3. Shut down Windows Server 2019, 2016, 2012 with Shutdown command

We have seen how easy it is to restart Windows Server using the command line, now, this process is similar for shutdown.

Step 1

To shut down Windows Server immediately we will execute the following:

 shutdown / s / t 0 

Step 2

To program the shutdown we execute:

 shutdown / s / t 15 

Step 3

We will see the following. There we can see a message where it says that Windows Server will close in less than a minute.

Step 4

As with the previous commands, we can force the closure of applications using:

 shutdown / s / f 

Step 5

To turn off a remote device we will use:

 shutdown / s / f / m \\ EQUIPMENT 

Step 6

Finally, to add a shutdown message we execute:

 shutdown / s / t 30 -c "Shutdown TechnoWikis" 

Step 7

Using one of the above commands the result will be as follows:

Thus, we already have one more solution for shutting down or restarting our Windows Server in a simple way using the shutdown command and its parameters.
