Hello bstuart177@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

This one is for restart the machine at 5AM, if you change "/r" to "/s" it will shutdown:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Create the scheduled task on remote workstation's
if not exist c:\winnt\tasks\at1.job at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe /r /t 120 /c "This computer will restart automatically, please close your open applications. Your Administrator." /f

:Copy the shutdown.exe to remote workstation
if not exist c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe copy "\\domainname\netlogon\shutdown.exe" "c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All between the lines copy to "shutdown.cmd" for example and add "shutdown.cmd" as a startup script to a GPO. The GPO link to the OU where your computers are located.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

Hi Meinolf ,

Have you a location of where you obtained this script or did you
create from scratch?

Thanks,
