Use a scheduled task on each PC to run the Shutdown.exe tool.

Use shutdown.exe.

Configure it as a scheduled task to run at the required time using the
at command within a batchfile. Run the batch file in a startup script
using a GPO linked to the OU containing the computers.

This will perform the shutdown using the system account not a user
account (won't work). You can also allocate switches/schedules in the
command.
