See the help shutdown Windows command for details.

To shutdown Windows from the command line, follow these steps:

1.Log in to Windows running on the system that you want to shut down.

For example, access the system console and use the SAC interface to start a command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the system.

2.Check to see whether any users are logged in. Use the query user or query session command.

3.Issue the shutdown command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows Server 2003 on the system.

Use one of the following options when shutting down Windows:

•To shut down Windows and reboot, issue the following command: shutdown /r

•To shut down Windows and power off server hardware, issue the following command: shutdown /s

NOTE: To reboot a powered off system you must power on the system using the PC command at the iLO 2 MP Command menu

•To abort a shutdown, issue the following command: shutdown /a

For example:

shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute."

This command initiates a Windows system shutdown and reboot after a timeout period of 60 seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the system.
