The best way to roll out a scheduled task

i have small batch file shutdown switch, have been manually creating scheduled task , using batch file shutdown clients @ particular time. works fine need add around 120 clients best way of doing this?

i have read can achieved quite using system center config manager unsure of how to/where install this? best solution problem? 

i rolling out small audit tool small script runs minimized upon start users - sends client info (comp. name e.t.c) db displays on our help-desk software. quickest , easiest way add clients startup folder.

any appreciated, chris.

 

we don't know how having "shutdown.exe" assess if user still using computer , cycle until not.

 

there 120 computers in network , have system center there @ least couple of options for deploying settings in ad environment takes care of credential hassles you.

1) create software deployment package runs schtasks.exe command line utility.  schtasks.exe create scheduled task you.  make sure task runs system administrator if possible.  use system center deploy package.

2) schtasks.exe command line utility shutdown.exe can run remotely , target machines.  run batch file create task on each computer.

 

i have thought shutting down computer @ night not a move client relations.  maybe putting sleep option want explore further.

 

does schtask thing make sense?
