In the last post I explained how to shut down computer that is running Windows OS (either XP or Vista) its fairly the same anyway. Now I will provide you with simple way to shut down computer to which you are connected over network but you are not in remote access.
Now we will esentially use the same command as we used before.But we will add another parameter to it.
shutdown -m 192.168.20.49 -s
Now this will shutdown computer with the following IP address on the local area network. But there is but as always you have to have administrator privileges on the following system. Either with having accounts with same passwords and usernames in some directory (active directory preferably) or being connected on the third party system, that performs log in checks.
If you do not have privileges then you will get error: Access is denied
Some other things that are to be considered:
are the following commands:
- -t xxx this one will allow you to delay shutdown/reboot for certain time interval in seconds.
- -r this one allows you to reboot computer
- -c “some comment” this one allows you to display some kind of msg why computer is shutting down
In the end also consider that on LAN you may reach or identify computer with its name and not obligatory with its IP address. So instead of 192.168.20.149 you would put something like \\computerkitchen
