Using this method you can shutdown and poweroff (the 12 value) a
machine, shutdown.exe from the reskit leaves a machine at "You may now
switch off".


I want to use this to shutdown all machines in the school in which I
work from a schedule on a server.

I could use the VBscript version but there are long delays if a machine
is switched off - in Python I can thread the communication with
individual machines (to achieve this in VBScript I have to call a new
instance of w(c)script for each machine), effectively shutting them
down in parallel.
