Hallo,
I've a customer that have a W2k Professional as server where he do his
backup with an old version of tapeware. The problem is that he would power
off the server after the backup, so I make a cheduled task to shutdown the
PC: a night he done and a night he didn't. The user name of the scheduled
task is Administrator with its correct password. What can I do???
I try with AT command, too, but the risult was the same.

OS: W2k pro sp3

Thanks in advance

Your post is a little unclear but I assume that your client is trying
to shut down his machine with a scheduled task and that it did
not work. What was the exact command he used to shut down
the machine?
 
He try to use PSSHUTDOWN (from the package of PSTOOLS) and SHUTDOWN (from
the W2k TOOLKIT) The problem is the same.
Thankyou
 
Fine. Now what was the exact command and what did he
see on the screen? He can make the screen output visible
like so:
shutdown /.. /.. /.. 1>c:\shutdown.txt 2>&1

Post the contents of c:\shutdown.txt
 
ok, thankyou, I'll call the customer in this afternoon and I'll ask him to
mail me that log. Where can I find it???
 
I think I solve the problem, now I've installed a free tools that i found in
WinPenPack that seem to work fine.
I'll test it for some days, thanks.
