Well I'll try to say this nicely but yeah this won't work 99% of the time.
Say your school utilizes a "shared drive." Then you might be able to rename a file to something that a lot of people will need to click on during a class per say which is actually a shortcut to shutdown the computer. Then once the teacher wants everyone to go and check out the template or the syllabus or whatever it may be on the shared drive, you'll effectively shutdown everyone's computers assuming the system won't block it. I would test the file on your comp first then upload it.

With all that said, don't fucking do this lol. Odds are they will find out who did it and you'll get in trouble. Is shutting down some computers really worth the trouble? Why not develop a relationship with your school's IT department and maybe work your way into helping or volunteering to help out? Might be able to get a job later in life. You'll thank me then

1. Everyone knows this
2. What a useless, childish thing to do
3. Won't work anywhere except for my school
4. This sounds like it was grabbed off YouTube
5. etc.

any decently managed school will have GP override such things. Some school's I know of have programs white listed, right click blocked, etc. check out psexec tho. Another note, if you're at a school with managed logins for all student's your kinda screwed since event's like that are logged, they can easily see who did it lol.

it was a windows 98 network you are right!
your right again the autoexec.bat does not control networking......
but it was loaded over the network to provide a standard template for all the schools computers to boot all their drivers and login systems.
and yes it was booting from a shared folder from a single machines c:/autoexec.bat in the head of IT computer room.
He had bodged the network to fix some computer on the desks next to him and it affected the entire network.
plus i am not a kid i left school before 2000 been hacking since Dos3, so i don't feel the need to lie to impress people.

take it you never used windows 9X on anything more that a VM?
still have a working 95 laptop behind me has a dial up modem too

Have a nice day

Wait wut? I'm not very versed in batch/CMD on windows (don't use it for anything anylonger) but there's a switch which will shutdown all computers connected with each other?

I find it difficult to believe that a sysadmin of the school would let this fly. It might be fun to try. Though, I don't think it would work at my old highschool, they were pretty tight on privs to CMD after a kid figured out a way to anonymously spam messages to every computer

This ^^^

Anything of this nature will have restricted privileges In almost every school on a large scale. Not to mention (for example) If an AV Is Installed server-side, and rules have been defined to block/flag/filter certain file types suspected of violating or compromising the network.

Pretty much everyone know this already. How many tutorials on YouTube I have seen about "how to shutdown ANYONE's computer" or "How to shutdown a website with command prompt" and than doing this...

Also you can't even search computers in the network if Active Directory isn't faulty configured or not configured at all.

That only works if Active Directory is configured. You could manually type in the IP's or Hostnames but chances are very high the command will never reach the target PC's.

Anyway, don't underestimate some sys admins. On my school almost nothing was blocked, we even changed passwords of the system administrator because his password was weak as hell. Most of them know about stuff like this, but there are certainly tons of schools, corporations that don't block things like these.
