I'm aware of the shutdown /i command with will give me a GUI interface, but that uses more time then me programming a script to run that will cause all computers on the network to restart themselves. The command I have is
get-content .\computer_names.txt | foreach-object {shutdown /r /t 300 /f}
But each time it runs it only restarts the computer I'm using which isn't on the list. What should be added to make this command work?
