Hi Alex, Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if you read the entire thread. My script runs fine on a NT 4 server scheduled with the AT command. It works with out a glitch if I launch it manually from a command window while I am logged in on a 2000 or 2003 server, and it runs correctly if I schedule it using " Task Scheduler " on a 2000 or 2003 server.
The problem I am having is, It does not work if I try and schedule it on a 2000 or 2003 server if I use the AT command. I know that this may seem trivial, since it works using the " Task Scheduler ", but just for the sake of curiosity and for my own better under standing, I would like to try and solve how I can make it run using the AT command. Jose :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex Fontana Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 5:10 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Shutdown script not working. I don't think you're ever gonna get SYSTEM to shutdown any system but it's local one - it has no authority on any system but itself. Only thing I can think of is throwing some credentials into the script your writing that does have the authority over other machines, but then your asking for it...

Hi Marcus, I tried adding the system account to the local security policy that allows it to shutdown the systems and using the interactive option in scheduling the batch job and changing the task scheduler to also use the interact with the desktop option and my script still would not run.

I'm not sure if my mail threading is all jacked up in Outlook... so excuse me if someone answered this already. Schedule the cmd.exe to start in interactive mode through the AT command. marcus c. oh .\directory & systems management\cox com .\mvp\windows server systems\management [v] 404.847.6117 [c] 404.391.7097 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Jessop Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 5:20 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Shutdown script not working.
