I have a number of PC’s in various buildings, that need to be shutdown at different times in the evening. I currently do this using the shutdown.exe -f command in scheduler.
Currently, all machines are set to a single time (eg. 5:15pm). In order to change the scheduled time, I have to manually edit each PC (c:\windows\tasks\shutdown).
I would like to be able to upload a patch file (registry or other), that will change the existing shutdown time. I can’t find where this time is retained (eg. registry; services; etc).
The PC’s are all running Windows XP/SP2. Due to commercial restrictions, I can’t use 3rd party applications, and must rely on the inbuilt options of Windows.
Any pointers or assistance that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
