For some reason I cannot shut down my system using scripts.

Here is my script;

execute shell command

shutdown -s

I have also tried

shutdown -s -f

Anybody know how to easily shutdown and system remotly?

Ok I solved my own problem . My mistake was running as a system not a user. If you do this you must run as a user FYI.

Hope this helped someone out there...... Cool

I am having a problem shutting down a machine that is not logged in . It seems to work great with systems that are already logged in but not logged out.

Does anybody know why this script will not run while not logged in?

I am running shutdown -s a shell command . I have tried as a user and asthe system

I figured out my problem again. I am using pssshutdown from winternals . It works like a charm.

I simply ran the application deployment wizard and and it added the script . I also added a -f for power down the machine. But you can do other functions like lock workstation and other cool thing with this utlity.
