I am running a home network with 1 ME machine and 2 98SE machines. I am using NetOP remote software on the ME machine and would like to transfer a script to host machines to shut them down at a specific time at night. I need specific instructions and/or information to accomplish this.

This is the line I was looking for. Thanks for the help Mohamed. Sometimes simply viewing MS site doesn't help completely.
