Set a Scheduled task with Shutdown or Logoff as a trigger

Question

_{Monday, March 13, 2017 8:16 PM}

We have a script we would like to run at Shutdown (or logoff if need be) and we need the event id(s) necessary to do this. The script does take a while to run, but we would like to dictate how long the script runs, and be able to spontaneously run it as well, which is why we want to use Task Scheduler. 

I am already aware of the Shutdown scripts option in the LGPO via gpedit, and we do not want to use that. 

Thanks

Sorry for the long delay. I ended up just doing a logon/logoff script, and putting a timer in the script itself.

Here's how I do a logoff script:

Log: System

Source: Winlogon

Event ID: 7002

Although if you're trying to display a dialog box, that doesn't seem to work in Windows 10.

Hi ,

The below is a similar case for your reference. To do this, we should also add event IDs below for logoff or shutdown event:
•6005
•6006
•1074
•4634
•4647
Please also create these tasks based on above event ID under Security.
