I have developed a batch script that will remotley shutdown all of our PC's (using the shutdown \\machinename command) in the office outwith working hours, but would like to give the users the ability to cancel this shutdown, say for example if they are working late.
My inital thought was to provide a batch file that the users could run (that executes the shutdown -a command), however when users run this is says they do not have the nessisarry permissions to run this command.
I could modify the group policy setting "Force shutdown from a remote system", to add provide users with this privalage, but im not sure if this the the only/best way of doing it?
Also - I have tried using other remote shutdown utilitys, however these will not run on our machines due to our antivirus software blocking remote execution of applications, i dont have any control over the AV software.
