Shutdown a computer remotely. how to??

[Knoothead]

I wanna shutdown my sisters computer in any way and i guess its with Start->run->cmd->enter then something with "shutdown" but i dont know how ive tried shutdown -i but i need her computer name and i dont know how to find it.. Can someone please help?

I think TeamWiewer 3 would help... You can connect and control other computer's remotely

PS: Beware, you dont have all the control, the other PC's user have part of control too...

No need for software use
Start - Run - CMD - okay

shutdown –m \\computername –r –f –c “I’m restarting your computer.  Please save your work now.” –t 120 

And click enter and then your done

does this work at school?
eg.
i used net for small things.

net send h110 hey

computer id "h1 for history block, room 1" and 10 for computer 10 in H1
Hey is my comment.

if i was using computer #20
it would come out as:

message to H110 from H120:
hey

if i restarted a computer at school.
would it say what computer restarted it.
and would i have to use //computername as //h110?

[WDoyle]

yes try using IP alot better

[sinamun]

shutdown -m \\**.*.***.** -r -f -c  test 120

and i get:

**.*.***.**: The entered computer name is not valid or remote shutdown is not supported on the target computer. Check the name and then try again or contact your system administrator. <53>


i used \\my ip
but it didnt work?

Your school's PC probably has a filter or security restrictions, access to the cmd console is either not allowed or just some aspects are allowed for general use.

All of the school PC stuff is usually done by IT techs who name the PCs and use filters and restrictions as i said, to stop hackers.....and pedos....

[sinamun]

no on my school pc,
you can not use cmd from a button,
you have to make a prompt in notepad

@ECHO OFF
title blah blah blah
color 04

systeminfo
systemregulate
cmd
command

save it as batch.bat

CMD doesnt work,
but you can get into CMD via MS-DOS

command ms dos
cmd

then do what you want.

Ive tried these things but either i get errors as i've typed wrong or the cmd just freezes.

As i told you on msn Knoot.
Your able to shutdown anymachine THAT YOU HAVE permissions to.
This means that if your machine is ON A DOMAIN, and you are logged in as an user that has administrative access to those machines, they will shutdown/reboot.
If you ARE NOT on a domain, then your usename/password combination needs to be on each machine to shut them down AND that username need administrative access.

Another way to turn off yoiur sisters computer just get to her computer and start telnet, telnet onto her computer and turn it off.
Still you need access to her computer to activate telnet, and you need to have an account on her computer so you can logon.

By using the telnet you can do everything u would normally be able to when ur using the cmd, locally at your computer.
