The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using VBscript to reboot remote machines

Asked by midwest_rocker in VB Script, Miscellaneous Programming, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Windows, XP Pro, SP2

I am trying to come up with a VBscript that will allow for remote execution of a reboot or shutdown to a group of specified computers within my Domain. The purpose is to 'refresh' any changes on the network. (by no means am I a wizard at VBscript - thats where you guys come in!)

Here is my logic:
- Select target group of computers to be rebooted/shutdown.
- Open up CMD to execute shutdown sequence.
- run reboot command

I get the error ' Variable undefined - GetmachineName'
I don't understand since I have another (huge) script that will run that string with no problem.

Option Explicit
Dim objShell
 
If instr(GetMachineName(), "room#") Then
	Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	objShell.Run "shutdown /r /t 000"
WScript.Quit
end if
