    Hi,

    do it using GPP:

    Preferences/Control Panel Settings/Scheduled Tasks

    Create a new schedule task

    GENERAL

    Choose name etc.

    "Action Create"

    Task

    Run -> C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe

    Arguments -> /s /f /t 45 /c "This is a scheduled shutdown of your computer, please close all programs for the time being!"

    Scheduled task runs at a specified time -> Enabled

    Schedule

    Choose your time.

    Kind regards,

    Tim

    hi,

    i tried to create the task as you instructed but unfortunately i didnot get many things in that. Like under the General tab, what settings i have to do for Security Options. Further, I am unable to find the Task and Schedule Tabs. I am getting tabs General, Actions, Conditions, Settings, Common. Also please be informed that I am choosing Task Schedular under Computer Configuration and also while createing a new task i am selecting Immediate Task (Windows Vista or Later). Correct me please if i am wrong.

    Thanks

    Dear Mr. Ravi,

    I followed the link as you mentioned but it describes settings for Server 2003 and we are using Server 2008 R2. Is there any other thread to achieve my requirement?

    Hi Butim,

    Thanks for your promt replies, but still it does not work. I have created the task as you described but i might be making some problem with the GPO linking or something like that.

    Let me explain my scenario, I created an OU, made a Security Group, moved the security group to the OU and added a client machine in that security group. I linked the newly created GPO to the OU.

    Pease let me know if anything i have to rectify.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Move the computer to the OU. If you using Authenticated Users you haven´t to create a group. if you want to use groups -> Remove Authenticated users from Policy Scope and add your local group to it. Create a global group and add the local as Member Of and add the workstation as member. Do a gpupdate on the workstation and check with gpresult if the policy is applied.

    Kind regards,
