Is there a way to close Outlook from a command line? I need to have it
closed before I do my daily backup on a remote machine. Outlook runs on this
machine to archive all the emails managed through Exchange.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

you could try our freeware addin "QuitOutlook":

With QuitOutlook you can shut down Outlook at a particular time. To start
QuitOutlook you only need to add the script into a scheduled task of
Windows.

Then you are able to backup your Outlook data file (*.pst file) easily and
uncomplicated

Download on this site:

Yould create also a batch file with the "kill outlook" command but if
Outlook is receiving a huge email, and you will kill Outlook, then this
email could be demaged. We wrote a smal script with the "quit outlook"
command. This script will ask Outlook if it is busy or not. Is Outlook busy,
Outlook wouldn´t shut down.

For us, it is a better way (less risk) to close Outlook.

Maybe it helps.
