I would like to know if anyone has created a script that would enable a work station to shut down at a predetermined time using Windows task scheduler.
I have several work stations on a peer to peer network that are remotly operated during early evening hours (pc anywhere) but I want to shut them down after the clients are done working to conserve the pc's power supplys.
Any Ideas?

Haven't used PC anywhere n a while ( I Now use ADREM software's "Remote Adminitration") but I think PC Anywhere has a user command to shut down the remote PC.
If not, try downloading a trial of the above mentioned software and try it out. I find it much fatster and resourceful than PC Anywhere, and it has a remote reboot or shutdown option.

When they are done, they shut it down remotely, nice!

PC Anywhere v10.5 will alow remote users to restart the host pc but not shut them down.
