Run a program before Logoff and wait for finish
When I want to run a program (.exe .bat) before Windows 7 Home Premium Logoff Restart I use the Task Scheduler and I set a custom event: Log: System, Source: Winlogon, Event ID: 7002 4634 4647 .....
The problem is that the program starts but the system closes before the program finishes, while it's running.
What can I do? (My O.S doesn't have gpedit.msc unfortunately)

Perhaps give this a try (not sure if it'll work): Addshutdown /ato the start of the script (to abort the current shutdown), and then addshutdown -s -t 00to the end of it to initiate a new shutdown sequence when it's done. You may have to make a couple scripts or something to deal with reboot vs. shutdown vs. hibernation, etc. Are you on an Active Directory domain by any chance?

It doesn't work. The system closes anyway. It doesn't abort the shutdown. The help says "/A can only be used during the time-out period"

Could you have a shortcut to run this item , then use a shutdown command after, instead of fighting a closing down system to run a program then? Just have an assortment of shutdown batches? I use that method from toolbars (like docks)

What about... A Scheduled Task with the trigger set to "On disconnect from user session", and the "Connection from Local Computer" option set? (A shutdown/restart does logoff/disconnect the user session before powering down, so???)

True, the program starts but I can't make it ends before the system closes. In this way it launches the program and, after few seconds, the O.S. shutdown or restarts.
– user3133076
Dec 22 '14 at 21:36
I wonder if disabling the switch "If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop" makes a difference? Or changing the priority of the script to Realtime? Without gpedit is a challenge.

It makes the program "survives" about 4 seconds more, but the problem is the same... Is it sure gpedit resolves this issue?

Here's the Technet on it... technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770300.aspx OR, how about create three different scripts on the desktop? Logoff, Shutdown, and Restart. Then call the command at the end of the script, OR write the script to choose your shutdown option? Of course, you'd have to use the shortcuts rather than the Start button power options, but it may suffice.

Perhaps give this a try (not sure if it'll work): Add
shutdown /ato the start of the script (to abort the current shutdown), and then addshutdown -s -t 00to the end of it to initiate a new shutdown sequence when it's done. You may have to make a couple scripts or something to deal with reboot vs. shutdown vs. hibernation, etc. Are you on an Active Directory domain by any chance?– Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007

It doesn't work. The system closes anyway. It doesn't abort the shutdown. The help says "/A can only be used during the time-out period"

What edition of Windows is this? Pro, something else?

Could you have a shortcut to run this item , then use a shutdown command after, instead of fighting a closing down system to run a program then? Just have an assortment of shutdown batches? I use that method from toolbars (like docks)
