You need to check the power management settings i have some older stations that if you don't anable APM they sit there with that message. I haven't encountered any more recent machines that do that but it's woth checking.

Also it depends on what options are you using in the shutdown command. shutdown /s will shutdown/power off, /r for reboot.

Don't use /L Try this in your batch file:

shutdown -s -t 0 -f

Good luck,
