I am attempting to make a batch file that will shut down every computer on my network. I am fairly new to batch in general but I am eager to learn. Here is what I have, apparently it cannot connect to my network itself and ends up only shutting down the computer I am working on. Is it possible, any help? Thanks.

Here is what I have:
@Echo off
cd\
Echo Netshut=Program

Thanks again.

Check the MS site first, and learn how remote shutdown is being done in a MS environment and what access rights you need.

But here is another approach for your batch

Honestly I'm not familiar with remote stuff. If xl1000's script would work for you then a nested loop could make it easier.

Thanks for making that much more compact, simplified the variables a lot.
The main issue I am getting is it claims the path cannot be found when shutting down. I have full access to everything by the way so if needed I can alter anything on my network.
Any ideas? Thanks.
