What does everyone use to shutdown their servers not connected to the UPS via serial connection.
I have a APC3000VA that is connected via a serial connector to 1 server. There are 5 servers plugged into the UPS for power. When the power fails it is suppose to run a batch file that I created.
net send /domain:name Power Failure
c:
cdcd\windows\system32
shutdown -m \\Servername2 -f -t 01 -s
shutdown -m \\Servername3 -f -t 01 -s
shutdown -m \\Servername4 -f -t 01 -s
shutdown -m \\Servername5 -f -t 01 -s
It does but it only sends the message to everyone and NEVER shutsdown the other servers.
What does everyone else use?
I know I can buy APC's remote network shutdown product but I'm trying to avoid that.
