what is the utility tools to schedule shutdown the windows 2003 ?

Natively you can use shutdown.exe http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491003.aspx Also psshutdown http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897541 You can use Task Scheduler to trigger either of these.

Hello, here is a small command file to shutdown a machine, just modify it for your needs: ;Create the scheduled task on remote workstation's if not exist %systemroot%\tasks\at1.job at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe /t 120 /c "This computer will shutdown and restart automatically, please close your open applications. Your Administrator." /f :Copy the shutdown.exe to remote workstation if not exist %systemroot%\system32\shutdown.exe copy "\\domainname\netlogon\shutdown.exe" "%systemroot%\system32\shutdown.exe" Copy the content into a file named shutdown.cmd and if you have multiple machines then add it to a startup script.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
