Could someone please advise me of the best / easiest way to shutdown clients on a server 2008 network at a set time in the evening?

Thank you

Steve

Do you have SCCM?

I have used a scheduled task on multiple sites. Always seems to work well

used to use this script:
Windows 7 - Shutdown message with countdown and cancel

but now just plain psshutdown from a management PC and a .txt list of the PCs to be shut

I'm still using Shutdownertron Works like a charm.

Search the site and it will come up.
