Wanting to save power (and the invironment!) and time, I have made a batch file to remote shutdown a training room of computers using the following DOS command:
shutdown -s -f -m computername
It does work, however, it doesn't power them off - Windows closes and I get the window 'your computer is ready to switch off'. Ideally, I would like the batch file or command to actually turn the computer off by the power too, just as a normal shutdown command from the computer itself. Do I need to modify the command/computer settings, etc? Or is it not possible? The workstations are mostly Windows 2000.
