[VBScript] Shutting Down Computers Remotely


Question

Hi guys,

You'll have to bear with me, as my knowledge of VBScript is about as extensive as a morning of looking at a script could be. Thankfully I've worked with other programming languages before, so there is a lot that was understandable.

We have a .vbs file that runs every day at around 19:00 from the server. The basic idea is that it tells each computer in the area to display a message that says, "you have 5 minutes before this computer shuts down," and then it runs the shutdown command in cmd (with the timer set to 5 minutes).

What we would like to do is have the popup message provide an option to stop the shutdown process if the user would prefer to continue working. However, from my research on Google the only way of doing this appears to be by having a second .vbs script on the local machine that will present a separate popup box.

Is there a way of doing this without having a .vbs script on each machine? If it is possible and someone has a link to the relevant information then that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Continuing my research, it appears that you need to have admin privileges to run the .vbs script on the local machine. This is going to be a problem, as not everyone is an admin (for obvious reasons :laugh:).

The pop-up is provided by the shutdown command on the local machine.

There is no way to call a shutdown that has an offer of cancelling.

You stop the shutdown with "shutdown -a" in command.

Yeah, I read that and knew about the command, but it's not a viable solution for us.

However, I found this script (EDIT: Whoops, I meant the second script, not the OP's script) which (if I'm understanding it right) presents the user with a popup box before running the shut down command. If the user doesn't respond in 20 seconds then the shutdown command is run. But as I said, this script requires that it be run on the local machine, and I think the user also needs admin rights, which isn't going to work either.

...I think I'm looking for something that just isn't possible, aren't I? :(

It's easier than that. We do it here. let me take a loot to remember how I did it.

Damn it. I forgot the MSA failed this morning so I can't get to my scripts till HP replace it.

I think it went like this.

Scheduled task executes script 1 at 11pm

Script 1 with user level privileges.

check for noreboot.txt

if found delete noreboot.txt

prompt user computer will shutdown at 00:00. do you want to cancel?

If user cancels, create noreboot.txt.

Scheduled task executes script 2 at 00:00

Script 2 with admin level privileges.

Check for noreboot.txt

if not found, shut down pc

All setup through group policy but it's easy to do manually.

We think we've found a way around the problem. We're just going to wait until the end of the day to try it, that way if it doesn't work we're not going to be causing anyone (or at least, as few people as possible) problems.

That said, MarkusDarkus's idea sounds like a decent alternative for if this fails. It's always good to have a backup plan. (Y)

He just said what I said :o

:\

BALLS!

I know but I thought I'd spell it out. And also the fact that I said that's what we already do here would help build confidence in our method.

Have you thought of using a HTA for a shutdown dialog with a cancel button.

I made this a while ago for someone else and thought that it might help you solve your problem.

Here is an updated version of the HTA, thank you to those who downloaded this.

Displays The Minutes Ans Seconds Counting Up while the graph shrinks in size.

Made a 5 minute and 10 minute version, graph is scaled to each Counter

hi

i am trying to run the hta script 

created the task as domain\administrator in the built in task scheduler works for the administrator

but if other user is logged in (it is a meeting room computer any domain user can use it) the window is not visible. after 5 minutes the computer indeed shuts down.

 

tried to use "system scheduler" (http://www.splinterware.com/index.htm) works for the administrator.

when other user is logged on he can see the window and can cancel the shut down but when the counter ends the window closes and the computer is not shutting down.

 

any ideas?

 

thanks

Amir

OK i got it to work

needed permission on shutdown.exe

and added domain users group to local administrators group so they can initiate the shutdown command

 

now comes another problem....

i want the computer to shut down even if no user is logged in.

is it possible?

 

thank you

it is  a nice script

That's not possible, a script can only be run by a user which requires that user to be logged in.

You can use a hidden logged in account that works in the background of the login screen in your case.

    • TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 is just $135 by Sayan Sen If you’re juggling gaming consoles, 4K streams and a growing roster of smart devices, the TP-Link Archer GXE75 Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router is a good option to look at right now, considering the device is currently on sale at just $135 (purchase link under the specs table below). The Archer GXE75 promises up to 5.4 Gbps of throughput across three bands: 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2402 Mbps on 6 GHz (HE160 channels enabled). A 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port pairs with three 1 Gbps LAN ports and a USB 3.0 port for fast file sharing or printer access (purchase link down below). The quad-core CPU and 512 MB of RAM should help to handle multiple streams without bogging down, while MU-MIMO, OFDMA and 1024-QAM improve efficiency when several devices connect simultaneously. The router’s built-in Game Accelerator engine is said to automatically prioritize gaming packets (both wired and wireless), and TP-Link’s GPN (Gamers Private Network) acceleration can reduce packet loss for supported titles. HomeShield security brings firewall protection, device quarantining and parental controls. The technical specifications of the router are given below: Specification Details Wireless Standards IEEE 802.11ax 6 GHz; IEEE 802.11ax/ac/n/a 5 GHz; IEEE 802.11ax/n/g/b 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Speeds 6 GHz: 2402 Mbps (802.11ax); 5 GHz: 2402 Mbps (802.11ax); 2.4 GHz: 574 Mbps (802.11ax) Spatial Streams 6 streams (tri-band OFDMA/MU-MIMO) Processor 1.7 GHz 64-bit Quad-Core CPU Memory 512 MB high-speed RAM Ethernet Ports 1× 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN; 1× 1 Gbps WAN/LAN; 3× 1 Gbps LAN USB 1× USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port (up to 10× faster than USB 2.0) Antennas 4× high-performance external antennas with Beamforming Buttons Power On/Off; Reset; WPS/Wi-Fi; LED On/Off Working Modes Router Mode; Access Point Mode Security WPA, WPA2, WPA3, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise; SPI firewall; Access Control; IP/MAC binding; Application-layer gateway; HomeShield security suite VPN OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP (server & client); WireGuard (server & client) Software & Services IPv4/IPv6; TP-Link HomeShield; EasyMesh; Parental controls; QoS by device; WAN types (Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP); DDNS (TP-Link, NO-IP, DynDNS); auto firmware updates Gaming Features Game QoS boost; gaming-port priority; Gamers Private Network acceleration; game-port forwarding; real-time game panel with stats & RGB control Operating Environment 0 °C – 40 °C; 10 %– 90 % non-condensing humidity Get the TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 at the link below: TP-Link Tri-Band AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router Archer GXE75 | EasyMesh, HomeShield: $159.99 + $25 off with coupon => $134.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Oh no... here we go again. Tha same sh*t that happaned to Mail & Calendar...
    • I too have worked with pro gear for decades and so I found the interface to be unintuitive from both the pro and casual side (a rare "accomplishment" by what are obviously otherwise skilled coders, hehe). I eventually got it to work, thanks for offering, but I found other compatibility issues with my own use case, so I just dropped it entirely. Right now, I just use an analog line out/line in approach which works as expected across all usage scenarios. With both machines on the same power block/outlet, I'm not getting any analog hum or hiss. My next step will be to try the updated Multiplicity 4 when a bug, addressing this very issue unfortunately, is resolved. Knowing Stardock, that could be tomorrow or five years from now, so I check back every few months to see it it's fixed and I want to upgrade. Again, thanks for offering to help.
    • We recognize that performance can use some improvements, and we continue to work on improving it. However, it's worth noting that massive performance improvements don't happen overnight, they take a lot of work and effort, and in most cases, the improvements are more noticeable when you compare across several updates. That said, Files is open-source and everyone is invited to help with these efforts 🙂
    • A lot of effort has gone into improving stability and Files Preview now has a 99% crash free rate. These improvements will make their way to Files Stable when v4 is released later this year. If you're still experiencing issues, please report them on GitHub or Discord so we can track them properly.
