If you simply shutdown a Windows 2000 Terminal Server, users are NOT notified that their sessions will end.
The proper ways to shutdown a Windows 2000 Terminal Server is to use the tsshutdn command.
The syntax of the tsshutdn commands is:
tsshutdn wait_time \[ /server: <Server_Name> \] /reboot /powerdown /delay: log_off_delay /v
where:
| Parameter | Description |
| wait_time | How long to wait after the user is notified before logging the user off. The default is 60 seconds. |
| /server: <Server_Name> | Specifies which Terminal Server to shutdown. The default is the local Terminal Server. |
| /reboot | Shutdown and restart the Terminal Server. This is the default action. |
| /powerdown | Shutdown and power off the Terminal Server, if the computer supports APM (Advanced Power Management). |
| /delay: log_off_delay | Specifies how long after the users are logged off to wait before beginning the shutdown. The default is 30 seconds. |
| /v | Displays verbose status messages. |
Examples
