Shutting down a server via batch

[Ana]

Hi,

I have 2 servers with win2kserver (A and B) connected to an UPS in a rack.
Server A is controlled by the UPS to start and power down, however, Server B
is not. So, I need Server A to send a shutdown command to Server B before
the scheduled power down hour.

I tried shutdown -f -m \\ServerB -t 60 with no avail. What would be the
correct batch file for it?

TIA

Ana
