How to Shutdown devices using Azure AD

Question

Hello,
At my job we have a computer room, and all the computers in that room are joined to our Azure AD. It is a little time consuming to shut them down one at a time at the end of the week. So, I wanted to know how I can shut them down from my admin portal in Azure. I've been looking at the many features of this service, but all I can see is the restart option.

Hi @Jose Martinez

There is no native functionality in Intune/MEM to shut down a device. You could schedule a task that runs every Friday at X time that runs a PowerShell script that includes shutdown /s.
