jbohaj Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi, is there any method to shut down the computer on Ethnernet by specifying their IP Address. I am trying it with DOS command = Shutdown -i, then I specify Correct IP of the destination computer. But the destination computer WONT shut down at all. A message appear. I will tell you soon that which Message appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deveant Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 for shutdown to work you need administrator access to the computer your trying to remotely shutdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I could have sworn I already replied to his question...Guess someone deleted the other thread because he had two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingToChatWith Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Yeah, it was here digips response from that thread was: You would probably be required to be networked to the pc with windows file sharing/microsoft family login, with admin rights over the pc in question(not simple file sharing, but prompted to login when trying to open a share or the machine). Usually via domain controller and activie directory, you would have admin rights over machines and could send shutdown, reboot, etc, type commands to a machine. If you are not part of a domain or have access in such a manner, you could just enable RDP on the target machine and then login to shut them down or reboot them via RDP.
