Mailbox Server. if i run the script or command from any of the server , It should shutdown all the servers in above sequence. Please help !!!!

Hi, You can use the shutdown program included in windows server to perform the desired actions. Create a batch file and schedule this file to shutdown the servers in the desired way. Leif

Hi Leif, Thanks for the udapte....i will try..and will let you know

The command for shutdown is shutdown.exe. you can use the batch or a script to run via scheduler, http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/remote-shutdown-command/ I think put some delay of few seconds and the DC should be shutn last. 1) mailbox, hub/cas,dc should be the preferred order.

I did the shutdown.exe remotely....am getting...Access Denied Error Message. Am using Administrator Credential for whole enterpises. Please help

Hi, Your question should be posted in the better place, e.g. Windows Server forum. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsserver Best regards, Serena
