I manager another computer, and I can't find the option anywhere to shutdown the machine. I don't see where I can get to this advanced tab you are speaking of.

Hi,What about this VBscript by Don Hite, which prompts for computername and the shutdown or restarts depending of what you specify in the script.http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/dhite/archive/2006/07/16/22237.aspxJens Ole Kragh MCITP, MCTS, MCT http://jensolekragh.spaces.live.com/

Wow, what a long way to shutdown machines. Personally I prefer psshutdown.exe from sysinternals (now owned by Microsoft). It is part of their pstools package and you can get it from MS downloads site.I have hundreds of machines and I just schedule a batch file. PSShutdown also gives your users an option to cancel unlike shutdown.exeCheers,Laralforbes
