Hybrid shutdown state for a remote computer

PowerShell Help
1

Could you tell me please how to make hybrid shutdown state (S4) for a remote computer (Windows 8.1) using PowerShell?

There is the cmd command

shutdown.exe /s /hybrid /m \compname

but it puts the remote computer into S5 (off state) instead of expected S4 (hybrid shutdown state).

There is PowerState Enumeration (https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/system.windows.forms.powerstate(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp&f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#code-snippet-1) but it refers to only two states: hibernate and suspend. But hibernation is not what I need. I need hybrid shutdown that combines hibernation and shutting down.

Thank you!

I am not sure what the Stop-Computer equivalent would be, but you can control ‘shutdown.exe’ via Start-Process cmdlet. Hope this helps.

Start-Process -FilePath shutdown.exe -ArgumentList “/s /hybrid /m /compname /t 10”

If the WS-Management service is running, you can run the command via a remote session.

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName compname
[compname]: PS C:\> shutdown.exe /s /hybrid
