ok, I may be a total idiot for asking this, but ...
If I have a major power failure in a building, and want to ensure all computers
running, shutdown cleanly, I can run shutdown -f -m //computername.
If I need to reboot a computer remotely, no problem. I can run: shutdown -r
Question ... (Here is the 500 point question)
If I have a major power failure and run a shutdown, because batteries are being depleted. Once the power is back up is there anyway to turn back on all of the computers without having to physically press the power button? Any commands I can run? 3rd party software? 3rd party hardware? I doubt it's possible, since with no power, there is no network connection to a computer, but maybe someone has an idea. :-)
Part II .... (Sorry no points for sending a resume)
I work in South Florida (Weston - which is 10 minutes from Miami & Fort Lauderdale). The company I work for (300+ employees), is probably going to be accepting resumes for a new network administrator within the next week or so. If anyone has a resume they would like to send me (local people only please), please send them to: resumes@jaredlandress.com
Or, if you can assist in some questions I should ask a potential job candidate, that would be extremely helpful.
Our network consists of 23 retail stores all with Windows XP. Main office, has roughly 10 servers running different things, 1 on NT, 4 on 2003, the rest on 2000. Our main backbone is a IBM RS6000. Approximately 100 computers within the main office and 20 dummy terminals. Mail is on Exchange 2000.
I'm just someone who is realy pushing for a new network engineer within the company. I'm not doing the hiring, but I will be an integral part of the decision. In case anyone wonders, the company is doing extremely well and noone is being let go for this opening. This department is just understaffed. Up until 6 months ago, all IT related stuff was outsourced.
