What Are The Advantages Of AllOff Over The Features Built Into Windows?
You can define when the functions are activated and get the opportunity to cancel shutdown rather than it just happening. There is more flexibility in the timing. AllOff can also shut down one remote computer at the same time. The program will not be fooled by a stuck key. An open program will not stop computer shutdown. A readily accessible history of use is available. It can apply to all users making configuration easier and more consistent.

Can Remote Shutdown Be Used On A System Running A DHCP Server?
Yes provided you use the computer names but if you use AllOff with IP addresses the computers with AllOff or AllOff Slave installed must have the IP addresses set to fixed on the DHCP server. This point only applies if the slave program is used.

Does AllOff Work On Both 32bit And 64 bit Operating Systems?
