| 587321 | 2007-09-03 04:59:00 | Hi, I am wanting to shutdown certain client workstations at the end of the day. I would rather not create a batch to do this so i was wondering if there was a way to do this using group policy, i have had a quick poke around with no luck. Cheers, J |

| 587325 | 2007-09-03 06:33:00 | Tell everyone in your group to do it themselves when they leave work... Lazy Buggers:lol: | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 587326 | 2007-09-03 08:08:00 | You can do it from within the active directory. But have a look at These (pcwin.com) truck loads of different apps. |

| 587327 | 2007-09-03 08:17:00 | ok will give it a go cheers. I'm windows server 2003. People are harder to tell what to do than computers lol | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 587328 | 2007-09-03 08:33:00 | Also found This (www.windowsecurity.com) article, may help a little, plenty of sugegstions. You can always get Vista installed ( Yeah Right), it has a shut down schedule built in - real handy for getting the kids off the PC at night, gives a warning before the scheduled time it shuts down & unless pass word is put in you cant stop it. Now what was that pass word again:xmouth: :rolleyes: |

| 587329 | 2007-09-03 10:18:00 | whats the big deal with writing a batch file anyway? all you need to do is call shutdown.exe Have done this often in my own network. |
Bozo (8540) | ||
| 587330 | 2007-09-03 19:53:00 | because in a massive network you don't want to have to schedule a batch file to do a shutdown on 100 seperate computers. I'd rather centralize it with a GPO. Cheers Wainui I'll have a read of that article. |
