Shutdown Script

[esullivan]

Followup question.  Will this work if no one is logged in?  Just countdown then turn off?

No

Well crap.

Is there a way to get it to?  Or better, if no on is logged in, just shutdown?

Well I think all is for not.  I want to use LanSweeper to "deploy" this like an install.  I have to set the creds as currently logged on (which will run it as the person who is logged in, so they get the GUI).  However if no one is logged in, LanSweeper fails the entire process (because, well, there are no creds).

Unless there is a way in AutoIT to launch the GUI under whoever is logged in, then I can use system creds in LanSweeper.  I am guessing I can't get that lucky tho.

What i ended up doing, for anyone in the same boat.  I created a 2nd script that contains:

If ProcessExists("logonui.exe") Then ; Check if the Notepad process is running.
    Shutdown(BitOR($SD_SHUTDOWN, $SD_POWERDOWN))
Else
    ShellExecute('<PATH>\owexec.exe', '-c localhost -k <PATH>\Shutdown.exe')
EndIf

This will check if it the login screen it up, if it is, just shuts it down.  If not it runs the other script (owexec.exe runs it as the current user so the GUI shows up).

Back a$$ way of doing it, but it works.

Thanks for all your help!!!

esullivan? So what is the final script you ended up with? And how does it look? Can it be set to reboot the client instead of shutdown?? It looks like a great option for rebooting clients or servers ...
