shutdown other servers on power fail ...

[zoldy]

I have more than one server powered by a particular UPS. I have the mainserver set to shutdown in the event of a power fail. Is there a script I can run to shutdown the other servers?

thanks

hi, download from

http://www.petri.co.il/download_free_reskit_tools.htm

the utility
ShutDown: Remote Shutdown

Build a script with N shutdown Command one for each node

Call it from the your shutdown command

bye

Would you mind giving me an example of a script so I make sure my context is correct

thanks

hi,
I belive you have encountred som authorization problem

be sure that:

- you are logged in by a Domain Admin in your main server
- Domain Admins are in the local Administrator Group
of the target machine

the syntax is

shutdown \\targetComputer

or if interactive you can

shutdown \\targetComputer /T:30

see shutdown /? for full explanation.

bye
