Command line Shutdown for DC

[Francisco Casco]

Hello i have a domain with 3 w2k servers and all connected tu a UPS that has
a serial cable tu the master browser of the domain (Trinity). I want to shut
down the other domain controllers (Neo) and (Smith) by a local process
activated by the ups service on Trinity. Is this possible, can i do it by a
command line or can i create a bat file to do the trick?
Thanks in advanced...

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts: {(Shutdown)}" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")

In addition to the file Mr. Patrick mentioned, there is also a "restart.vbs"
on Microsoft's FTP (ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/ResKit/win2000/restart.vbs) that
uses the cscript.exe executable.

Example: cscript restart.vbs /s neo.domain.com /p /f (/s is the server
name; /p is poweroff and /f is to force the function).

I use this in the exact manner you want to use it. In a long power outage,
a 2200VA UPS runs the batch file shutting down three servers and a minute
later, shuts down the final server (where the UPS software resides).
