W2k3 R2 sp2 will not respond to a log off or shutdown command. Nothing
unusual logged in the event log. Removed APC UPS software to eliminate that
possiblity. Can't seem to find anything that is not right but it is slow to
respond and no response on shutdown, restart or logoff. Server is a Dell 2850
Dual proc server.

Have had issues such as this in the past on our Dell's (Don't think it is
Dell related though). We would issue remote shutdown commands and sometimes
the system wouldn't completely shutdown and it went into the undead state.
Anyone connected to the machine still worked but no new connections allowed
and no access to the console. Found out from Microsoft the shutdown command
isn't the greatest and so I wrote a VBScript that has resolved the issue.
This isn't the greatest code in the world, I should correct it so the values
are all defined in the variables section but use it if you find value to it.

Good Idea just having compile errors with the script arount the Set OpSysSet
= GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}\\" _ line.
Working my way throough the script to see if can make it work.
