A. For Win2K and newer OSs (including Windows .NET Standard Server--Win.NET Standard Server), selecting Shut Down from the Start menu will shut down Terminal Services, but will also terminate all user connections. A better way to shut down Terminal Services is to use the tsshutdn.exe command. The command syntax, which is the same for Win.NET Standard Server and Win2K, is
tsshutdn \[wait_time\] \[/server:servername\] \[/reboot\] \[/powerdown\] \[/delay:logoffdelay\] \[/v\]
where:
| wait_time | Specifies the number of seconds to wait after user notification before terminating all user sessions (the default value is 60). |
| /server:servername | Specifies which server you want to shut down (the value defaults to the current server). |
| /reboot | Specifies that you want to reboot the server after the OS terminates all user sessions. |
| /powerdown | Specifies that you want to power down the server after the OS terminates all user sessions. |
| /delay:logoffdelay | Specifies the number of seconds to wait wait after logging off all connected sessions before performing the reboot or shutdown action (the default value is 30). |
| /v | Turns on verbose mode, which displays detailed information about actions that are being performed. |
For example, to power down a remote server named server1 in 5 minutes and turn on verbose mode, type
tsshutdn 300 /server:server1 /powerdown /vat the command prompt.
