Set objComputer = CreateObject("Shell.LocalMachine")

Wscript.Echo "Computer name: " & objComputer.MachineName
Wscript.Echo "Shutdown allowed: " & objComputer.IsShutdownAllowed
Wscript.Echo "Friendly UI enabled: " & objComputer.IsFriendlyUIEnabled
Wscript.Echo "Guest access mode: " & objComputer.IsGuestAccessMode

Wscript.Echo "Undock enabled: " & objComputer.IsUndockEnabled

2) Restart a Computer

strComputer = "atl-dc-01"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" & _
        strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
    objOperatingSystem.Reboot()
Next

3) Shut Down a Computer

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject_
    ("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}\\" & _
        strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
 
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
    objOperatingSystem.Win32Shutdown(1)
Next

 

4) Modify System Startup Delay

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colStartupCommands = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")

For Each objStartupCommand in colStartupCommands
    objStartupCommand.SystemStartupDelay = 10
    objStartupCommand.Put_
Next
