Is it possible to deploy an MSI installation with SCCM in the form of a shutdown script (similar to what can be done in GPO)?

What do you want to do exactly? The most simple way (with some limitations) to shut down a computer using ConfigMgr would be a program that kicks off "shutdown.exe".

Hi, the answer to that question is no. With ConfigMgr. you can trigger an advertisement to start when a user logs off but not shutdown.Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/ | The Danish community for System Center products

Kent is right; I misread your question.

Thanks.

Hi! I have a different problem. I run a Shut-Down script after the installation of another program to permanently shut down the machine. I set the "Program Restarts Machine", and used << cscript.exe After_Install_shutdown.vbs >> command to execute that. The script is simple, and it works when triggered from the workstation's cmd ### script code ### Set shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") shell.Run "%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f" ### script end ### The problem is, that the machine is restarted instead of being simply shut down. Does this setting interfere with the script? (Running the program with "No action Required" brings up an "Unexpected restart" Error)
