would this work or would you have to put "-m \\4ag4d7888" after "-f -s".
Code: [Select]@echo off
shutdown [highlight]-m \\4ag4d7888 [/highlight]-f -s
exitLooking over your PAST posts, you have yet to mention your OS or what kind of network you have.

Will this work?:

shutdown -m \\4ag4d7888 -f -s

Sure, if you have a computer named 4ag4d7888 and you're on a domain. If this is a peer-to-peer network (workgroup) then no.

Try to give us the info we need to make an informed response.

8-)I have win XP. And what do you mean by "kind of network".Networks come in FLAVORS. Domains can be defined with one computer running OS server software and acting as the domain controller (server). Remote computers can be attached to the domain either wired or wireless. This type of network is generally found in schools and business.

Peer-to-Peer networks (generally found in homes) are where remote computers also connected, wired or wirelessly but with no one computer acting as the server. Each computer in the network is a member of the same Workgroup. Home networks are used to share an internet connection. The file/device sharing is an extra bonus.

There's more to it than this of course, but this will do for now. Workgroup computers use a simple file sharing mechanism that allow you to share FILES and devices across the network. However, any one computer on the network cannot submit jobs for execution to a remote computer. Even though you can "SEE" remote files and devices, there is no path into the remote OS. For home networks this is usually enough and doesn't require any one person to act as the network adminstrator.

The books written about networks, how to set them up, and the protocols involved COULD probably fill a library. Google has reems of pages on this topic.

8-)then I have a peer-peer network!!!Then you cannot shutdown a remote computer.
