Shut down a computer with shutdown /s

Shut down a computer with shutdown /s

Sometimes, when you're going through your systems management routines, you may have to shut down or restart a user's computer. The shutdown /s command is a script to do just that. The user receives a notification saying their computer will shut down in one minute. If you are performing the command remotely, you should use shutdown /m \\computername /s.
To automatically have the computer restart, you would use shutdown /r. If you start to shut down a computer and change your mind, you can abort the operation with shutdown /a. If you want to ensure the user has enough warning before the shutdown, you can give them two minutes with shutdown /r /t 120 /c "Shutting Down for maintenance" /f /d p:4:1.
If you don't need to shut down a user's computer but you do need to ensure it is fully updated before the Windows Update/Automatic Update client does its job, you can use wuauclt /detectnow to do so. Windows Update/Automatic Update contacts Microsoft every 22 hours to see if there is an update it should push to the computer.

When to use a command-line command

  For desktop administrators,a graphical user interface provides helpful display features such as windows, pull-down menus and scroll bars. But a tried-and-true command-line command can accomplish almost all of the same tasks -- sometimes more efficiently, especially if you're scripting. Windows 7 has myriad command-line scripts built into the operating system that you can use to shut down a user's computer, turn a firewall on or off, or force an update. Because they're so useful and there are so many, it's a good idea to start exploring some basic Windows 7 command prompts. Here's one to get you started. If you run a large network space, you can apply all of the commands in this slideshow to a group of remote computers with this command-line command: FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO netsh -r 192.168.1.%i advfirewall show allprofiles >192.168.1.%i.firewallstate.txt. This will execute whatever command you need on multiple computers or IP addresses....
