hi guys,
i have problem, not a big one but a small one.
i have about 230 computers in different locations across the country
and they all connected with each other i mean vlan with private ip and
i want to restart them with one cammand is there any way? and remember
shutdown command wouldnt work there,
coz all machines are at account locked out message when i try to
restart using shutdown command it shutdown everything but that messages
stay there and machines are like half alive.
is there any way to restart them?

shutdown and psshutdown should both work fine.
shutdown has the -f switch. FORCE.

You could also send a logoff to all machines first with the shutdown
command - with the -f as well if you like.
You could use PSEXEC to run the command locally on each machine - as
whatever user you choose.
 
Shenan,
thanks for reply but as i siad all of 230 systems are not logon screen
or login they are on message Account is locked out please contact with
your administrator message i use shuteown with -s -r -f and all other
possible way but didnt work. after applying shutdown command that
account locked out message stay there and i can ping system but then if
i apply shutdown command again it give error The network path was not
found. but i can ping so i m in the middel of no where any idea any
suggestion would be helpfull.
