Why do you think it will not work on XP?
There is one hint, but I belive this is fixed in SP2

Hi,

I'd like to shutdown a few PCs using Group Policy at a specified time
without my intervention. More specifically, I'd like them shutdown at
4:30pm each day. I've read about the AT command, using shutdown.exe,
and running it as a log on script, but am under the impression that
this won't work on XP PCs. I'm open to any and all suggestions to get
this working via Group Policy. There's also the option of scheduling a
task to run shutdown.exe if the AT command won't work, but I can't
figure that out either.

Thanks very much in advance,

James
