Remote Procedure Call

[T-ITB]

I have a script which depending on what constant value is
set, can Power off, Shutdown, Logoff, Reboot a number of
PCs as defined in a text file.

However if I run it against a list of Computer names, it
only works against a small percentage.
I have verified by running against individual PCs which
PCs will power down and which ones wont.
The error that comes up consistently on the ones that wont
power off is "The Remote Procedure call failed and did not
execute"
Have already verified that the same RPC services are
running on both the machines that Power off and those that
dont. They also appear to have the same version of
vbscript.dll and so far I can not see any common factor
between the machines that the script works on and a common
factor on those that it doesnt.

Appreciate if anyone can point me in a new troubleshooting
direction

What about if you replace the computer names with IP addresses in your list,
and run it again? I'm just thinking that for some reason some of the names
can't be resolved by WINS.
