Hello All,

I'm looking for a PowerShell script that will logout of the user profile before a computer reboot/logoff.

All your help is very appreciated

    Hi @enricom911

    I am assuming you are talking about logging them out of their Edge browser websites. You will want to delete the user's cache. Try the following script:

    Hi @enricom911

    I believe that Edge ties you to the user account that is logged in (Office 365). You could try what has been suggested in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-powershell/is-there-any-powershell-script-for-logging-out-office-account/m-p/2262858 (answer by Stefan_ITGuy)

    Hello there,

    Based on your requirement have you tried the Kiosk Mode? Kiosk configurations are based upon either assigned access or shell launcher. There are several kiosk configuration methods that you can choose from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/kiosk-mode/kiosk-mode

    Do you need to sign off the user profile or close the Edge browser?

    The logoff utility can log off users remotely but requires the extra step of finding a session ID.

    logoff $sessionId /server:DC

    Hi @enricom911

    I found that there's a group policy ForceEphemeralProfiles which can sign out Edge profile every time you close Edge. I think you can enable this policy in your organization as a workaround. Then when you reboot/logoff the computer, Edge will be closed, and it will sign out the profile. Except this, I don't find other ways to sign out Edge profile when reboot/logoff a computer.
