If you don't have enough time to send a shutdown command to less than 100
remote workstations, I really wouldn't expect SBS and Exchange to finish a
clean shutdown either.
Of course your ability to shutdown the remote workstations depends upon both
the workstations having backup power as well as any and all network hardware
so your script or simple (shutdown -f -s -m \\computername ) command is
received and processed by the workstation.

True enough....I suppose the right and proper way to do it (if it is an
APC UPS) is to install the mangement card in the smart slot on the UPS and
then run the the Powerchute Agent on each workstation. You could manage it
via the Powerchute Server Mangement Console.
Of course I'm making a lot of assumptions here.....I know there are many
other UPS manufacturers other than APC.....well, a few at least!

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.
