vbscript to shudown computer but still run shutdown scripts

[cartydave]

I am familiar with using the shutdown -m command and the WMI method of shutting down a remote computer. The problem with both of these is that neither allow shutdown scripts to run. Does anyone know of a method to shutdown a remote computer while allowing shutdown scripts to run?

Is your shutdown script ran via Group Policy? I've never used shutdown scripts, but I do use startup and login scripts via GPO and that works fine.

You may have to explicitly call them before issuing a shutdown -m.
Use PSexec.exe to run local commands on a remote computer.

Use win32_operatingsystem win32shutdown method with parameter 1 (normal, but not forced version):

If you do not get the meaning of the note there on SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege, this sample may give you the form needed despite using a slightly different method.

"How do I" entry:
"...reboot or shut down a remote computer?

Thanks tsuji

But that's what I'm currently doing, but shutdown scripts don't run.

set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//" & strComputer & "")
set colOS = objWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
ShutdownErrCode = ObjOperatingSystem.Win32Shutdown(1)

The "for each" loop should end with "next" keyword. Is it there?
