any software that can shutdown the PCs in a schedule
Hi Experts,
Is there any software or configuration run at the background or services that can shutdown a PC at a scheduled time ?
eg. shutdown the PC at 10pm every day
thanks

Just use the SHUTDOWN command and a scheduled task. Or PSSHUTDOWN instead of SHUTDOWN.
Start RUN then type COMMAND to get a command prompt, then type shutdown /? this will show all the shutdown options and give a basic example.
Thanks
Thanks
