Remote Shutdown
I tried to remote shutdown an XP SP3 workstation from a windows 7 workstation.
I used the following command:
"shutdown /m \\huttesrv001.hutte.local /s /f"
but I always get an error: "huttesrv001.hutte.local: Access is denied.(5)"
where huttesrv001.hutte.local is the name of the remote workstation I want to shutdown. (I used the IP address instead of the name with same results).
my logon account (name and password) is the same on both workstations)
I stopped the Firewall settings on the XP workstation but to no avail.
When I make a Remote Desktop Connection to the XP workstation I can shutdown it from there.
Has anyone an idea how I can force a remote shutdown?
