remote shutdown
 

For some reason whenever i try to shut down a computer remotley an access is denied message comes up. any ideas of what i could do to fix this?

Re: remote shutdown
 

also i do have admin rights

Re: remote shutdown
 

then try sys internals ps shutdown. in that u can give the user name u wanna log into, and give the remote system's admin password to perform a shutdown. but when the system is protected by a firewall, it fails to work.

yea there is a firewall up. but ive also tried shutting down the remote computer with admin privleges as well as running cmd as the admin. also i tried enabling messenger if that might help plus adding my name under the users rights list that is allowed remote shutdown... im kinda stumped.

Try to enable all the remote dependincies then enable telnet stuff run cmd as admin. idk im just starting out too
