Hello TP,

You can create a scheduled task on the local workstation with shutdown.exe
Dependend on your hardware the machine will shutdown but not always power
off.

Hello TP,

We have done it with a startup script to create the scheduled task and copy
the shutdown.exe to the machines. When i am back in the office i can check
the script.

Hello Meinolf Weber,

;This adds the scheduled task
if not exist c:\winnt\tasks\at1.job at 05:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,s,su shutdown.exe
/s /t 120 /c "Your text for the users" /f

;This will copy the shutdown.exe to the machines
if not exist c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe copy "\\yourdomain\netlogon\shutdown.exe"
"c:\WINNT\system32\shutdown.exe"

Add this all to "shutdown.cmd" for example and run it as a startup script
under computer configuration

Best regards

Hello TP,

From the GPO this script will run, if the scheduled task dos not exist and
the shutdown.exe is missing. That's all. The shutdown itself has to run on
nthe client without GPO. So check with gpresult on the client if the script
is applied, also you can search for the .exe and under c:\winnt\tasks you
can find the entry. If the shutdown does not run check the task itself for
error number or also in the scheduled task logfile.
