After Hours

Here is an interesting way of acheiving what you want without having to download any software.

If that is not something you wish to try here is a link to a free auto shutdown program but I have not tried it so I do not know how well it actually works.

Let me know if this helps or if you have anymore questions.

Thanks

There are a couple of things you could try, a bit tedious however setup a scheduled task on every machine to shutdown the pc at a certain time.

Or providing you are a domain admins on the server run a batch file from the server to shut the pc's down remotely change computername to the pc name and copy the line for every pc you would like to shutdown.

something along the lines of

shutdown.exe \\computername -s -t 60 -f

if you add the -f switch aswell this will force the shutdown incase programs are crashing in the background just remember to make sure no one is sitting at the pc!!

I would test this on a dummy pc first before running on the server so you get the hang of it. If you getinto any trouble click start run shudown.exe -a which will abort the shutdown this is why you give it 60 seconds to allow you to do this.

This script could also be scheduled to run on the server if you are not around when it needs to be run.

Hope this helps.

This link provides a list of 3rd party software to accomplish what you want. There are several 'Freeware' utilities listed, which means you wouldn't have to spend any money on them.

40 Euro = ?32 (near enough).
If you need it free then i would suggest to get a book or look around for yourself.
Sometimes certain things are not FREE you have to pay for them, like your job is paying you for your services. People like you make me laugh, you want things but are not willing to pay for them. Enough said. :) :)

He'll end up haranguing his local Public Library, then get arrested for trying to sneak the reference book out.

He'd have been better paying the ?31.65.
