Re: Scheduled Shutdown with GP

Using the /l command with shutdown will only log the user out, not shut down
the computer.
To shutdown a computer using the shutdown command, /s is required with /f to
force any programs that refuse to close to exit.

/t 0 will shut it down immediately, although you could set this to 30 to 60
to allow users to save.

Try configuring the scheduled task at 430 under an admin account.

Then use

shutdown /s /f /t 0 /c "Shutdown @ 430"

either that - or you could configure a batch script to run on a server as a
scheduled task, assuming that computer has an account that can access the
computers with adminstrative rights.

shutdown /s /f /m \\computername-1 /t 0 /c "Remote Shutdown @ 430"
shutdown /s /f /m \\computername-2 /t 0 /c "Remote Shutdown @ 430"

Hi,

I've created a batch file with the following commands:

AT 4:30 shutdown /l /y /c

It will schedule the task, but nothing happens at the time that the
computer is supposed to shut down.


Any ideas?


Thanks again.
