How to use the shutdown command to stop another computer?

I just saw the setting-m to the shutdown command and decided to give it a whirl. However, when I pointed out the computer in question, I received a message that "a required privilege is not owned by the customer.

What should I do to be able to use my laptop to turn off my old desktop computer? Both are running XP Professional SP3.
Sometimes, I like reading or watching streaming video on Hulu on the laptop while lying in bed, and sometimes I play music if do the first, which is stored in the form of MP3 files on the desktop (which I access via a share). Be able to turn the office without getting up would be nice, but you do not get this option with Remote Desktop.

Here is the result, the office is "slickswintel" (he's old, and since when I went first from Mac to Windows 98SE, although it is now a double XP/98) and the laptop is "slickslaptop".
Both machines have unprivileged called 'Slick' on them local accounts that are my accounts on the day the main day. I have a different admin account, but I only use it as needed and use runas as often I log in fact.

What should I do to get the following to work? In spite of the passing the MCSA Exam, I never learned about this feature, so I'm not sure what I should do to make it work? It'll work on a workgroup or is it only for domains? While I could set up a domain with the copy of the server I got from Dreamspark, I really didn't need one.

As a general rule, you must have administrative privileges on the remote computer to shut down this computer.  Given that both computers have XP Pro, you are halfway there (remote users always authenticate as 'Guest' on XP Home).  The computer that you are trying to close must have "Simple file sharing" disabled because otherwise you can not authenticate to this computer as anything except the user "guest".  So try to disable Simple file sharing, make sure that your user name and password are the same on both computers and make sure you have administrative privileges on the remote computer, and then you can stop the machine with the command "shutdown".

In fact, it's easier to use the remote desktop.  Even if you do not have a "Shutdown" option in the start menu, you can always open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
stop s f t 35
This will give you 35 seconds to logoff this computer before its judgment (assuming that you have administrator privileges).

You can also look in the command "psshutdown' of the PSTools Suite

  • How to use the Valueset array in an another Table Valuset

    Hi friends,

    I have a requirement let me explain the scenario.


    in a segment of the deposited Keyflex, I need to get all the notes of the company. that i made using the valueset table.

    now in another segment of the kff, I need to get all the steps of the year according to the selected category.

    like if I ranks say G1, G2, G3, G4...
    and no rank
    for G1-steps (1,2,3,4,5,6)
    for G2-steps (1,2,3,4)
    for G3-steps (1,2,3)
    for G4-(1,2,)
    etc.
    My requirement is now if the user select the grade G1 of the valueset. then in another filed of the segment would come only those steps that are valid for this rank.

    I hope that I have given clear pic of my requirement can someone please help me, how to do this.


    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think that the requiremnt can be achieved by building the master as independent Valueset (for example: Grades) and child as a dependent (eg Valueset; Gradestep).

    condition is possible in my opinion. give it a try in the dev instance.

    See you soon

    Just remove it from the computer, on which it is currently installed and proceed to install on the new and reactivated by phone.

  • How to use a PowerMac G4 monitor with another computer or pc?

    Hi, I have an old PowerMac G4 I use ever more because they have to slow down. But I wouldn't throw because he has such a nice monitor.

    So I was wondering is it possible to use the G4 PowerMac with other calculates such as a PC. I know that this monitor is specific for the PowerMac G4, but is there some kind of card that I can use to connect a PC?

    That looks like it uses the Apple Display Connector, which is an owner of a DVI version.  If your machine has a DVI connector, you can get an adapter DVI to ADC from sources such as Amazon.

  • How to use the command shutdown in vista?

    I used the shutdown command to make sure that the computer is turned off at some point in XP, but I just wanted to put my own computer to shut down after accidentally booting to Vista Home in order to download a large file while I was at work.

    I tried shutdown-s t 9000, which should have set a time limit of two and a half hours, but he gave me the help screen message.
    I saw that the main difference is that dashes had been changed to slashes, but "shutdown /s /t 9000" also failed.

    What is the correct syntax to use the command? I confirmed that 'shutdown-s-t 9000' works very well in my XP virtual machine, if that is the new syntax to accomplish the same thing with Vista? I tried "run as administrator" to the command-line nothing helps.

    Hello
    It is the command to shut down the computer in Vista.
    SHUTDOWN [/s] [t / xxx]
     
    xxx/t:  The value of the timeout prior to xxx seconds. (The valid range is 0-600, with a default value of 30. The use of / t xxx implies the /f option.
     
    /s: Shut down the computer.
     
    /f: Force running applications to close without prior notice to users. (/ f is automatically defined when used in conjunction with xxx/t).
