Look into Dells IT Assistant 8.0. Currently I use it to just get data
and hardware alerts on all server hardware. You can set it up to
discover pc's. SNMP would need to be configured on the pc's to point to
the server collecting all the data. You can group the machines anyway
you want or remove them from the console all together. There is an
option to setup command line tasks with it and you can send a remote
restart of the system.

Subject: [THIN] OT: Schedule PC shutdowns domain wide
Sorry for the OT post - another case of asking those who know an awful
lot
Anyway, we're being asked to somehow systematically shutdown all of the
PCs on the network on a daily basis. Caveats are it needs to be at a
certain time to allow time for the nightly updates and virus scan and
we'll likely need to exclude a handful of PCs as well.
Any thoughts or knowledge of products? We're using Dell optiplexes
(about 1,500 of them) but have never setup a management server for them.
thanks.
