How do I set auto shutdown Windows XP client?

Hi Gyle Kugler,

Dear you can make a script file to do so.

Open a note pad and type the command given below in it.

" shutdown -s -t 3600"

Here the 3600 is the time in which the computer will shut down. You can change this time as you desire. But keep in mind that this time will be in seconds.

For example, if you want to shutdown a client in 1 hours then you have to write 3600.

Now save this file as batch file with ".bat" extension.

Now run this file in your all clients. The clients will shutdown automatically after specific time.

Happy computing.
