Maleko Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 We are running windows server 2003, with Windows XP Pro workstations.The network itself runs fine.We are writing a batch file to shutdown PC's on the network using the command:shutdown -s -m \\IT3-staff-pc -t 60With no success...we have tested it on computers within the workgroup and not the domain and it works.So we came to try and PING the workstations, getting timeouts...We can however Ping our static IPs such as Access points, Printers etc.Are we missing sometihng that is preventing our computers that run via DHCP to ping?
