is there a command line shutdown option with 2000 as with unix (i.e.
shutdown -r now, etc., halt)??

the reason is b/c the clunkers won't save registry properly unless you stop
the print spooler prior to shutdown. i've applied service pack 4 and still
it doesn't work properly. Userenv 1000 error in event log - Windows was
unable to unload your registry etc.[2195] or some shit like that. I did find
a fix on microsoft's web site specifically for this problem but the geniuses
didn't consider that i'd be getting a window popping up every 5 minutes
telling me windows has unknown file versions and to insert the Windows 2000
Professional CD.

so a simple script for shutdown would be

@echo off
NET STOP "Print Spooler"
<<insert shutdown command line here>>
echo System is shutting down....

please let me know if you have the line "<< >>" or an easier foolproof
once-and-for-all solution

What worked for me is to create a logoff script (not a
shutdown script) in the Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc).
Add the command NET STOP SPOOLER to the script. Command
line shutdown is not necessary.
 
Mike - that worked (although a pain in the ass) and I'm sure I'll lose that
in my notes but thanks anyway.

Thanks again,

Ryan

Shutdown, and lots of other funky stuff such as reboot, logoff, or any of
them as forced action, can be done with scripts using Win32_Shutdown method
through WMI. You can get examples in technet scripting center.
