It won't work when you run it from the computer connected to the UPS even through command line. With nltest and shutdown, they seem to only work locally (must be run from the remote system). With tsshutdn, you see a message appear on the screen indicating the server will shutdown but after the time elapses, nothing happens, the server keeps on running. However, when the UPS calls the script then it doesn't work.
Using psshutdown and tsshutdn works fine when executed within a. Now I've tried the following tools to remotely shutdown my other server : psshutdown (from PSTools), nltest.exe (comes with Windows 2000 Server), tsshutdn (usable if you have terminal services running) and shutdown.exe (comes with PowerChute). I know that you can buy the port expander so that there are multiple communication cables going to each server but I don't want to use that option. The script is placed in the Shutdown Sequence menu. When there's a power failure, you can program a little script so that certain operations can be performed before the UPS shuts down the server that is connected to it (via the communication cable). I have the ups connected to one of the servers. Have any of you successfully used the shutdown sequence to turn off remote servers within the same lan ? Currently I have 1 UPS with 1 communication port and 2 servers.
