Better to never let anyone who is unskilled shut down the server. Ed Crowley MCSE+I MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Greer Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 9:14 AM To: Exchange Discussions I've been asked to come up with a script that will allow others (on our general networking team) to gracefully shut down one of our Exchange servers. I'm figuring that a straightforward series of NET STOP commands should take care of it, but am concerned about the time it'll take to shut down the IS (for instance, if net stop times out and gives up before a large IS finishes shutting down). Do any of you all have any pointers or caveats? Is there any way in a simple batch script to check to see if a service has finished shutting down?
