Automatic Shutdown - Windows 2000 Pro

[trussman]

i was wondering if it ws possible to set a scheduled taks or something to automatically shutdown the computer. I don't want to put it in hibernation or power down like a screen saver. I want it to actually shutdown as if I went to Start, and Shutdown.

Thanks for any help.

copy and paste the following code into a file, name it sth like shutdown.vbs :

Set OpSysSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")

for each OpSys in OpSysSet
OpSys.Shutdown()
next




just let the scheduler run the vbs at a certain time.

Would this be like a notepad file?

Ok it worked. But it comes up with the windows screen stating it is ok to shutdown the computer. Is there a ways to get it to shutdown completely?

We use a program called "Shutdown". From:

You can setup a task using Windows Scheduler to run the shutdown.exe file and it's flags (as needed).

This will shut down your machine (or reboot or log off) no matter what is going on.
