Shut down Windows Server 2003

You can shut down the Windows Server 2003 operating system on HP Integrity servers using
the Start menu or the shutdown command.
CAUTION:
or shutdown commands under normal circumstances.
Issuing restart or shutdown at the SAC> prompt causes the system to restart or shut down
immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down gracefully.
To shut down Windows, use either of the following methods:
• Select Shut Down from the Start menu and then select either Restart or Shut down from
the pull-down menu.
The Restart menu item shuts down and restarts the system. The Shut down menu item
shuts down the system.
You can use this method when using a graphical interface to the system.
• Issue the shutdown command from the Windows command line.
See the procedure
You can issue this command from a command prompt through the Special Administration
Console (SAC) or from any other command line.
The Windows shutdown command includes the following options:
/s
/r
/a
/t xxx
See the help shutdown Windows command for details.
NOTE: On HP Integrity mid-range servers, performing a shutdown using shutdown /s (or
the equivalent Start > Shut Down > Shut down) powers off the server cabinet or powers off
the cells and I/O chassis assigned to the nPartition. On these servers, you can customize the
behavior.
On HP Integrity Superdome servers, the Windows shutdown /s command shuts down the
system and keeps all cells at BIB (the boot is blocked, inactive state).

2. Check to see whether any users are logged in by entering the query user or query
session command.
