Remote shutdown with UAC on?
Hi there i hope someone can help me with this its been driving me mad and googles taking me round in circles
I need to shutdown a server on the same network using the shutdown command like we used to when it was xp (now w7 ultimate 64bit).
After spending days on this now trying various things...
added remote desktop users & everyone & interactive to the local policies for "force shutdown from a remote system" also tried adding the computer ie WORKGROUP\LAPTOP5 as well but it will the fail to save the database
also tried using the runas (runas /user:server/admin) which appears to work but the server doesnt shut down. You get and initshutdown audit success in the logs though.
FINALY, tryed disabling UAC and now shutdown works as expected!
so i dont want to really run it with UAC off do I?
so my question is how do i get around this are there more advanced settings for UAC rather than the slider that ive missed somewhere?
hope some one can help id be very gratefull :)
