To NTDOC. What I wanted to accomplish was the following. I want to shut down all computers within an OU or a group. I don't want to have to remember to add PC xyz to the shutdown script, so I don't want to have to add computers names to the control script. I could in theory use a scheduled task on the local computer but is easier if I have the scheduled task on the server and I can change the times/days easily on the server. The scheduled task on the server runs the kix script and it shuts down all the computers within the OU. I see no benefit to having the scheduled task on the individual computers.
