4647: User initiated logoff

On this page

Also see 4634. This event signals the end of a logon session and can be correlated back to the logon event 4624 using the Logon ID.
This event seems to be in place of 4634 in the case of Interactive and RemoteInteractive (remote desktop) logons.  This is a plus since it makes it easier to distinguish between logoffs resulting from an idle network session and logoffs where the user actually logs off with from his console.
