We thoroughly tested this. From a Server 2008 task, Dowclock's shutdown process works, but the messages do NOT display. So we put our tasks back on an XP box alls works as expected again. I suspect 2008's stronger security lockdown has something to do with this.

c:\psexec \\lan1 -s -i -d c:\Downclock\10endday\DownClock.exe We cannot get the message or warning boxes to show up on our XP PCs. As of a few days ago it was working. I cannot figure out why it doesn't now. We recently upgraded to 2008 servers but even then they worked up until a few days ago. PCs ...

We only had to place the +redirect.html file name in the URL.txt file. That seems to have taken care of it. Never would have guessed it.

Thanks anyway Scott.

Instead of going to my designated AccessURLredirect page, PWB simply closes when we click on an external link. How can I get it to go to my redirect page instead of closing? And, what's causing it to close? This is the content of my URL.txt page: -all +https://wisdom2.biola.edu +https://portal.biola...

I tired using a local batch file called rundc.bat with the contents: c:\downclock\10endday\downclock.exe I also tried: psexec -i -d c:\downclock\10endday\downclock.exe Then I thought I was cleaver and would use runas to get downclock running at session 1. I found a vb script which does a runas comma...

Downclock is already on the local machine. We've also already attempted your suggestion of calling another local .bat file, but the same thing happens. This is the current .bat we run on our network server to run downclock on all of our machines: c:\psexec \\lan1 -s -i -d c:\Downclock\10endday\DownC...

My staff has observed the following: Downclock works on Vista, if you run it locally the countdown appears and shuts down the computer. The issue we previously discussed is how Vista runs system processes. When Vista runs a system process is run this process at session 0. Previous to Vista the curre...

It appears that I can run Downclock on an XP computer, as it shuts down at the designated time (10 mins). But the timer or warning boxes do not appear at all.

Updated: April 29: It appears that this started happening AFTER this weeks round of MS updates. Anyone else ecounter this?
Any ideas?

How would I script an abort of the Downclock sequence once it has started? I tried using the "c:\pskill \\computer Downclock" command, but it does not work. Is there another way?

If you are using IE 7 you should use the OptIn utility to enable PWB within the IE 7 security features.

Where is this utility and exactly what will it do?

PWB does not seem to take advantage of the new tabs feature of IE 7. Is that correct or is there a setting in the .ini file to do this?

We are experiencing the following issue with PWB. While browsing Amazon.com's site, eventually PWB crashes (Application Error): [Application log] Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Error Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 12/11/2006 Time: 1:03:13 PM User: N/A Computer: LAN3 Descripti...

Worked! I know it was simple, but thanks Scott.

This is what I have as the shortcut target = "C:\Program Files\TeamSoftware Solutions\Public Web Browser v2\PWB.exe"

If I change it to libcat.biola.edu -- does not work, error message says it is not valid.
If I change it to http:\\libcat.biola.edu -- does not work.

Don't know.

It is set as you specified. Still get a second browser opening. This is what I have as the shortcut target = "C:\Program Files\TeamSoftware Solutions\Public Web Browser v2\PWB.exe"
