Hey, I tried to use the shutdown code
shutdown /m \\[computer], but it will not work on my network, is there something specific i must do???Are you using REAL DOS or some version of command prompt?Im usind the prompt of winxpJust for the record that's not MS-DOS.Yeh..Well, if you're only trying to shut down one computer (not the network) It would be shutdown -s, but you would also need to have administrative priviledges to do it.What i ment was ms dos prompt on WinXp.
But I thought I had to put the name or IP of the computer i wanna shutdown......
ANYWAYS, how could i GET priviledges to do so???, is it something i must do in the "Computer manage"
Or in the network??how are you doing it? Through cmd/command?
Why do you need to know anyway....?I go to run and then put cmd and it prompt me, and there i do it.
The reason is just no manage my network computers, to ease the entire MUTUAL shutdown.
Someone may want to confirm this but it depends on the type of network. If your PC is part of a domain, remote shutdown should work provided you have administrative credentials on the remote machine. If your PC is part of a WORKGROUP, you're SOL.
