You can also use the "Sample 5.16 - QueryAndReboot.wsf" of my WMI book, Volume 1 at http://www.lissware.net. This script accepts an LDAP filter to query AD, and based on the results, it reboots all computers listed in the query result. For instance: C:\>QueryAndReboot "(name=MyServer01)(name=MyServer02)(name=MyServer03)(name=MyExchange*)"
By default, the script includes the "(objectCategory=computer)" to the filter specified on the command line. You must run this script on an XP machine because it uses the WMI-ADSI extension, which is not available in 2003. (but the script is very easy to tweak to run it on a 2003 machine. Let me know if you can't make it). Needless to say that you must carefuly formulate your LDAP query (e.g. Don't use (name=*) ) otherwise you will have some interesting time ... :-)) HTH /Alain -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 1:45 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] shutdown of all clients machines remotely Shutdown /i and add the machines to the list of machines to reboot\shutdown -----Original Message----- From: "Sharif Naser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 12:19:17 To:<ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org> Subject: [ActiveDir] shutdown of all clients machines remotely Hello experts, How can i issue a shutdown (restart) to all the clients machines on my domain.
