go here and click startup and shutdown for a vbscript solution. Add it
to a scheduled task to run at a certain time.

in Powershell
Drop this into a .bat all on one line and schedule it.
powershell -noexit -nologo -noprofile -command "& {(Get-WMIObject -
Computername "COMPUTER" WIN32_OperatingSystem | Where-Object
{$_.Primary}).Shutdown()}"

Use the Task Scheduler to run shutdown.exe at the required time.

[shutdown@discussions.microsoft.com auto shutdown]

[auto shutdown]

More info needed. Did you set up the scheduled task to run as an admin?
Event logs give you any clue? Can you manually run the scheduled task?

Does anyone know if this can be done for an entire network? I have created a
batch file that I am able to use to shut down ONE PC but I would like 800
PC's on my network to all automatically shutdown at a certain time.

You could use a "dsquery computers" to pull all of your computer names
from the Active Directory and then loop through that with something like:

FOR /F "skip=1"...

Just make sure to tweak your DSQuery so that you're getting the
computers that you really want to target.
