Shutdown Script

[PC]

I know this is probably a basic question, so please forgive me. I want to
shut my XP Pro machine down at 11pm BUT leave my UPS on. Does anyone know
of a script that can shut the machine down at a specific time?

Use sheduled tasks in Control Panel to run windows\system32\shutdown.exe at
that time. In the properties of the task add -s to the end of the command,
e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s, which will cause a shutdown.

You can further customise this by adding a message to display when shutting
down and setting the time given before shutdown (to allow work to be saved
etc). Type "shutdown" at a command prompt for details.

Copy and paste the following into a Notepad file and save it with a VBS
extension. Then create a Shceduled Task that points to the VBS file you
created.

WMIQuery = "select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true"
Set OpSysSet
=GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery(WMIQuery)

For Each OpSys in OpSysSet
OpSys.Shutdown()
Next

There are 5 lines in the above code, so make sure nothing wraps.
