This script is designed to shut down Windows servers in a certain predefined order. e.g. note that the application server first disconnects and shuts down its connection to the database server before the database server itself is shut down.
- Shutdown of remote Windows systems with
Stop-Computer - Validate the online status with
Test-Connection(ICMP reply / PING) - The next system is shutdown only after successful shutdown-validation of the previous one
The solution consists of the following files:
- shutdown_datacenter.bat : The startscript to be executed which generates a menu to select which datacenter should be shutdown.
- shutdown_datacenter_1.ps1 : The actual powershell script to shutdown the systems per datacenter. Also here a menu is generated to select server systems clustered by their roles.
- library.ps1 : A collection of functions used in the powershell scripts.
