  • My shutdown scripts are still working post-upgrade. I don't have a reboot script but, considering how close they are, it would seem to still work. Here's what I use:

    /C shutdown -s -c "Shutdown by administrator" -t 30 -d U:00:00 - rockhead44 10 years ago
  • I am having exact same issue where if a machine is off already the next time the machine is booted the script gets applied and shuts the machine down.

    Any other solutions other than creating a separate "machine connected" labels? - maredzki 10 years ago

Try adding CMD to your command. For example:

cmd /c shutdown -r -f -c "Shutdown by administrator" -t 30 -d U:00:00

I don't know if it would make a difference or not, but you might need to use "/" instead of the dashes in your command: http://ss64.com/nt/shutdown.html

If this is the script you are running, the enabled box is not checked.

  • Yea you are right
    It has been turned off for the last 2 weeks so we could do imaging and updates before classes start up for spring. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
    • SMal,

      We were using a nightly shutdown script in Kace very similar to yours but sometimes when users would start the computer the following morning the script would kick off like it was somehow queued on that machine and it would shut down. It was rare, maybe once a week, but this made us abandon the script. Just wondering if you've run into this at all. Thanks. - SDNBTP 10 years ago
      • no but these machines are all locked with deepfreeze so that may make a difference - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
      • Thought of a way to solve your problem. Create a smart label "Machines are connected" using "Machine Connected" is "True" and apply the shutdown to that label. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
