Remote shutdown Multipoint 2011

[joe90bass]

Does anyone use remote shutdown tools with MPS? We use ABtutor here and it successfully shuts down Windows 7 PCs, but with multipoint server they seem to get left in maintenance mode. I have tried setting two shutdowns i.e. one at 4:00 and one at 4:30 which has limited success. This blog seems to back up the issues I'm having! Does anyone else have this issue, or a workaround?

I have successfully used a scheduled task on some of ours that just runs shutdown on the machine.

Yep that's what we have done with our 2 MPServers

Thought it may come to that! I like ABTutor as it's easily managed from the console and gives users the option of cancelling the shutdown if they're still logged in. guess I can just set the shutdown for later than I would just to be safe!
