logoffshutdownwindows-server-2012-r2
Is there a Difference between logoff and shutdown -l -command in Windows?
They both logoff the current session.
(Background: i had a Problem where the software in the costumers remotesession (w2k12) didn't ran correctly until i logged of via logoff from command line.
The customer disconnects the session daily via a shortcut on the desktop, which starts a batch with the line shutdown -l)
Both are executables in system32-directory.
Do they run different logoff-sequences?
You will need to modify the group policy that is applied to the servers. Open up the Group Policy Management Console and navigate to Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System and select "Display Shutdown Event Tracker." Disable that option.
Shutdown.exe still ships with the new versions of Windows.
Simply run:
shutdown /i
and the following prompt will appear, allowing you to shutdown/reboot 1 or more servers with a Reason comment:

They perform the same task
They are simply different applications that perform the same task. They both logoff a current session and close any applications that are associated with that session.
You asked.
No, they initiate the same logoff sequence.
