NT shutdown on low UPS Power

Hi:
I have a large UPS connected to a single NT server. The NT Server shuts off when the UPS power goes critically low. How can I cause OTHER NT servers on the same network to shutdown at the same time? Is there a remote script that the first NT server can run to power down the other NT servers?

Are they all connected to one UPS? If so, check your settings under UPS in the control panel.
There is a lot of software that will look after your servers - I have used Powerchute (it is bundled with APC UPS's)

The UPS powers ALL the servers but has only one serial connector--so it is connected for management purposes only to one Server. This server has no problem shutting down. I was thinking more in terms of a triggered script or something that would cause the first server to send a shutdown command to the other servers when the first server found UPS power at a critical level...

Although, the machines don't power off since NT doesn't support power management.. If anyone can help with a link to 3rd party APM.. Thanks in advanced...
