Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
I think your actual concern is how to shutdown the clients at a given time.
In this case, you may use Logon Script to add a Scheduled Task in the
clients.
For more information about Logon Script, you may refer to the following
Microsoft Web sites:
To assign user logon scripts
<http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...ll/proddocs/en
-us/gptext_assignlogonscripts.mspx>
Windows Script Host
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/script56/html/wsconwhatiswsh.asp>
TechNet - Script Center
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx
Furthermore, the shutdown command in Windows Server 2003 may help you
shutdown the remote clients. You may use the following command:
Shutdown -s -m \\ComputerName -t xx(seconds)
You may edit a batch file to execute the above command one by one to close
all the client computers.
Reference:
shutdown /?
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx]
[-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]
No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first
option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close
without warning
-d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive
integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive
integer less than 65536)
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Tom Che
