Would you be able to create an exact syntax sample for me? &nbsp;And how can I add multiple servers to that?<br />
<br />
/m \\servername /m \\servername &nbsp;OR /m \\servername \\servername <br />
<br />
Thanks again.

Shutdown script for Windows 2003 servers.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
