remote shutdown
i've been trying to figure out how to use remote shutdown for other computers in my personal network through my LAN. so far in CMD i've tried:
shutdown -m \\computername
shutdown -m \\computername -s
shutdown -m \\ip address
shutdown -m \\ip address -s
now, none of these switches i've used here seem to work. RDP is enabled on the machine i would like to specifically shutdown, but it still doesn't happen. any ideas guys?
TY in advance  |

If it gives you access is denied then it's the right command you just don't have the rights to issue remote shutdown ... You are using workgroup?? Then basically you should have identical user setuped on the remote machine, I'm not 100% sure about that but it would fall the category of MS logic in this case. If you have domain controller and you are using the domain mode then it should work straight away...
[EDIT] you can always type shutdown /h for help  |

Try this tool, PsShutdown
that should be able to "log" user in and start the shutdown... |

i don't quite understand this line

Just copy PsShutdown onto your executable path, and type psshutdown with command-line options defined below.
|
where is my "executable path" located at? and also the command that they are giving, i'm not sure what the rest of the command is. so far i have:
psshutdown [[\\computername
but, after that, i don't know what else to put down as the rest of the path. |

Usage: psshutdown [[\\computer[,computer[,..] | @file [-u user [-p psswd]]] -s|-r|-h|-d|-k|-a|-l|-o [-f] [-c] [-t nn|h:m] [-n s] [-v nn] [-e [u|p] x:yy] [-m "message"]
|
Use the -u and -p switches |

now i get a message that says
Quote:
|
'pshutdown' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
|
now, after getting this, i know i'm doing something wrong.
with those files that i extracted, what was i supposed to do with them? all i did was double click on "psshutdown" file. |

You could try dumping the files into the main Windows folder as it is a default executable path (or even Windows\System32), and see if it allows you to run it. Or, go into Control Panel | System | Advanced tab, and add a new environment variable pointing to the folder where you have PsShutdown (and the other files) in the "User Variables" section for that specific user, or under the "System Variables" section for all users.
