| 848168 | 2010-01-13 05:01:00 | Have a read of This article (maximumpcguides.com) - down the botom may be of interect - also found This software (www.filebuzz.com) JOC not free, but I dont have time to try it currently. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 848169 | 2010-01-13 05:26:00 | what would be the information in the txt file? just the machine names (yes all of them) one per line eg. pc1 pc2 pc3 etc. as for the mac's all bets are off :) |

| 848170 | 2010-01-13 05:58:00 | macs are already done. One image for each type of mac with all settings and software installed. And told to shut down at 6pm | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 848171 | 2010-01-13 06:01:00 | So fred_fish do I just copy the code you put into your previous post into a notepad doc and save it with a .bat extension? Also where would I save the machinelist.txt file? |

| 848172 | 2010-01-13 06:30:00 | So fred_fish do I just copy the code you put into your previous post into a notepad doc and save it with a .bat extension? Yup. Or .cmd Also where would I save the machinelist.txt file? Same place as the batch file, or else you need the path to it in the command. If all your targets are in a DHCP pool that excludes the servers I would lean towards the "for /l" option as it will just cycle through all the IP's. Saves making (and updating) a target list, and the Mac's will ignore the command anyway. |

| 848173 | 2010-01-13 07:01:00 | yeah class b address pool but the servers are in the pool as well so will probably do the name list. And being a school they are all perfectly numbered. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 848174 | 2010-01-13 07:17:00 | If they are numbered you could still use the for /l option with the placeholder as a substring in the machine name rather than ip. But it really depends on your naming scheme, and padding may be an issue (although should be easy to work around) |

| 848175 | 2010-01-13 07:34:00 | naming scheme: three letters (same for all) then number | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 848176 | 2010-01-13 22:30:00 | for /l %%a in (1,1,9) do shutdown -f -s -m \\abc00%%a for /l %%a in (10,1,99) do shutdown -f -s -m \\abc0%%a for /l %%a in (100,1,999) do shutdown -f -s -m \\abc%%a or combinations thereof :) |
