Fun with windows commands

shutdown-i.PNG

Now that all of my PCs are on the same domain, I have been playing with different commands on the command line, and thought that this one could come in handy for some of you:

From the command line, type shutdown -i.

This will open a dialog box (pictured) and allow you to remotely send shutdown commands to other machines on your network as long as you have the correct privileges on them.

With this command you can specify reasons for the shutdown and allow a set amount of time for any users to save their work before the system shuts down.
