We are having tons of trouble with psshutdown and hostnames lately.
Here's a couple fyi's.
Any machine on the domain that is not a server but just a workstation cannot be pinged. The ip resolves but the pings timed out.
The machines are able to be started up via Wake on Lan (from their MAC address)
Psshutdown does not work period. I get the above. Any ideas on what to do?
Should add this: Psshutdown was working but only a couple random machines at a time (we have a php page that shutsdown all the computers in the LAN)
If you guys know of a alternative similar to Wake on Lan that uses mac addresses that would be swell.

The network path was not found.
Make sure that the default admin$ share is enabled on xxx.xxx.xxx.EDU.
If xxx.xxx.xxx.EDU is already performing a shutdown operation you must
abort it before issuing a different command.Psshutdown does not work period. I get the above. Any ideas on what to do?
