Shutdown windows devices in Intune

Question

I would like to shutdown windows devices every night at 10 p.m. Is there any way to do that with Intune policies?

Thanks for your help

@nasha mehr Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, there is no such built-in setting in intune. However, we can deploy a script to make it.

Please deploy the following scripts via intune and then we can see the task scheduler added in the device. When the time comes, the device will shutdown.

# The name of your scheduled task.  
$taskName = "Shutdown Computer"  
  
$User= "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"  
  
# Describe the scheduled task.  
$description = "Shuts computer down daily at 10：00PM"  
  
# Create a new task action  
$taskAction = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'powershell.exe' -Argument 'Stop-Computer -Force'  
  
#Create task trigger  
$taskTrigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 10PM  
  
# Register the new PowerShell scheduled task  
# Register the scheduled task  
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName $taskName -Action $taskAction -Trigger $taskTrigger -Description $description -User $User  

Here are some screen shots in my test.

Hope it will give you some ideas.

Rather you can make a scheduled task.

Thank you it worked.

Answer 4

Is there any way to run this script in admin mode?
I understand that the script runs on users who have admin privilege and without admin privilege it doesn't.

I did some changes but none of them works.

#The name of your scheduled task.  
 $taskName = "Shutdown Computer"  

 $User= "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"  

 # Describe the scheduled task.  
 $description = "Shuts computer down daily at 3：10PM"  

 **$principal = -RunLevel Highest**  

 # Create a new task action  
 $taskAction = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'powershell.exe' -Argument 'Stop-Computer -Force'  

 #Create task trigger  
 $taskTrigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 3:10PM  

 # Register the new PowerShell scheduled task  
 # Register the scheduled task  
 Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName $taskName -Action $taskAction -Trigger $taskTrigger -Description $description -User $User **-Principal $principal**  

The name of your scheduled task.

 $taskName = "Shutdown Computer3"  

 **$User= "AzureAD\username"  
 $Password= "Password**"  

 # Describe the scheduled task.  
 $description = "Shuts computer down daily at 1：30PM"  

 # Create a new task action  
 $taskAction = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'powershell.exe' -Argument 'Stop-Computer -Force'  

 #Create task trigger  
 $taskTrigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 1:30PM  

 # Register the new PowerShell scheduled task  
 # Register the scheduled task  
 Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName $taskName -Action $taskAction -Trigger $taskTrigger -Description $description -User $User **-Password $Password**

No i mean, I would like to run this script on all users but the script runs on users who are admin. It doesn't work on standard users.
