scheduling shutting down of pc's

[billb]

easiest way of getting 100 pc's to shut down every night at a certain time anybody?! xp machines on 2003 network.

thanks!

Yes, lots of ways

Off the top of my head - use shutdown.exe in a batch file or script, assuming you have a list of all the PC names and admin rights over them.

Edit: On the server I mean, as a scheduled task...
