Hi All, I have a strange problem with Group Policy shutdown scripts- I have a c# program that calls an INITIATESYSTEMSHUTDOWN command on a bunch of remote Windows XP PCs to shut them down in the evening. This works fine, but ..... the group policy shutdown scripts do not run if the PCs are shut down in this fashion! If you walk up to one of these PCs and press the power button on the front of the system, then the PC shuts down but DOES process the shutdown scripts. Likewise, if the PC is logged on at the time the INITIATESYSTEMSHUTDOWN command is sent, then the scripts DO run before the PC shuts down! I thought the problem may be with the INITIATESYSTEMSHUTDOWN call, but if I remotely shut down the PCs using SHUTDOWN.EXE from the NT resource kit, I get the same result, the scripts do not run!! This is very perplexing. Does anyone have any ideas? The local eventlogs on the PCs dont log any errors about this.
