Shutdown computers remotely

This article shows you how to shutdown computers remotely using Wak-On-Lan (WOL)

We all use in the IT industry some kind of Wake-On-Lan (WOL) tool to start up the production computers, maybe on a weekend, and ensure they get the Windows Update and blah, blah.. but how about shutting them down? I'll show you a classic version of how to do it using "psexec.exe" and a *.hta file

 

Download the Ps Tools Suite and install them on your management computer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pstools

 

First of all, get an application to create .msi files, I use "Advanced Installer" https://www.itninja.com/community/dell-kace-appdeploy-repackager 

 

Work in progress, will document it all soon!
