Set permission for remote shutdown

I have a Home LAN and I'm trying to use command "shutdown" for shutdown machines remotely but I get "Acces denied".

Code:

shutdown -r -m \\MACHINE1

I've tried to use PsTools and partialy I've achieved the goal. I've created a batch file on each machine

Code:

shutdown -r

. I've shared folder over network and I've set permission for use it. The problem is that sometimes works and sometimes not. The same batch file I can execute successfuly and after restarting it stops working.
The UAC and and FireWall are off.

Are you trying to schedule the bat to run at a certain time? I'm assuming your in a 'workgroup' and not a domain environment, right? workgroup rights to run a file should include the "everyone" group unfortunately. If you simply wish to schedule or run this at a moments notice the easiest way would be to call the script with an "at" command. At that point you're shared folder will need to include either the "system" account with execute permissions or you'll have to add the"machine account" with execute. These 2 account options won't prompt you for passwords, which will be half the problem when doing this over a workgroup environment.

this will help you out. you have to check the permissons... user name and passwords for the accounts on the computers.
