Is there a powershell command that would power on another host?

Question

I have a group of computers that I want to power off and then power back on, is there a Powershell command that will do this? I have the 'shutdown' command to turn them off, I can't use the reboot command.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you use powershell 5.0 + , you can use the Restart-Computer cmdlet.

$computers = @('name1','name2')

foreach ($computer in $computers)
{
    Restart-Computer -ComputerName $computer -Force
}

Another alternative is using the shutdown with CMD.

shutdown -i

Will pop up a nice GUI to do your requirements.
