shutdown / restart remote windows servers by single command

There will be requirement to restart or shutdown all windows servers within domain. As system guy you can do it by few clicks.

assumptions:

you have administrator domain privilege to  shutdown all windows servers

steps:

in command prompt type shutdown -i and click OK button














then it will prompt you following window.


















click on ADD button and type all windows server names you want to shut down or you can use Browse button to browse and select all servers you need.
caution : Please make sure the Domain controller and the PC/server you logged in  are not selected. :)


then specify the action you need to do with drop down menu.(restart/shutdown etc)
then enter the warning time. in my image selected servers will  restart after 30 seconds.
then under options and comments please specify the reason for the action.(For audit purposes)

after completing those please click on OK button.
