I was wondering if there was a way to shutdown several pc's on a network at the same time, because i take care of about 40 pc's and at the end of the day someone has to turn them all off. so i was hoping there was an easyer way, preferably with batch files (reason being, becasue i'm used to using them and would be easyer).

Unfortunately, RTFM stands for Read The F*cking Manual.

Are you using the Shutdown command properly?

Hi Mad Dog,

The windows administrators automation toolkit has some really handy scripts for performing tasks such as this for the network administrator, including one to shutdown or restart computers. If you like, drop me a pm, and i can send you the script over for you to cut/paste and modify

'mutual respect' includes reading the relavant material and doing searches before asking questions.......

also

psshutdown expands on it a bit (ms now own sysinternals, so google will take you to their link )

oh come on guys, someone asks for help and everyone tells them to sod off and *read the manual*

if that where the case, we could tell everyone to sod off, and never share any info....give me a break

To Shutdown Immediately:

shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00

where:
-s (shutdown)
-f (force applications to close)
-t (time until shutdown in sec.)
-r (restart)
