Apart from the network broadcast, you could tell your Powerchute
software on the server to run a batchfile when reverting to battery
power. In this batch file you could use psexec.exe
(www.sysinternals.com) to run the shutdown command on all your
clients! A bit messy, but it would work.
Ah, that's good advice, thanks - although it's also possible that there
won't be enough time for this to complete successfully before the server
goes bye-bye.

Hello,
I have a network with SBS2000 and about 15 XP clients. In this
network I have a UPS system that is connected to the eletrical
system and to the server. If the power fails all computers remain
powered. When this happens I want SBS2000 to send a message to all
connected users so they close all they are doing and shutdown their
machines. After, let's say, 3 minutes, if the computers arent
shutdown I want SBS2000 to automatically shut them down to preserve
the UPS batteries for SBS2000.
How can I do this?
Thanks
The UPS software that came with your device should have the option to
broadcast a message to all computers in the domain (provided they
have the messenger service running). At least, APC software does
this. Regarding remote shutdown, not sure how you'd do this - you can
certainly *do* remote shutdowns, but I don't know how you'd trigger
that automatically.
