How do I shutdown a remote work station? My computer name
is barcode and it is a Windows 2000 SP4. I would like to
shut down the system from a remote location. Please
advise. Thanks!
 
Get the Shutdown.exe program form a pc running WXP pro and copy this program
in the PC running W2K then from the command prompt type shutdown -s
victim -t timetowait

for more help shutdown ? from command prompt

Hi

One downside sometimes with the shutdown.exe that comes with the Resource Kit
and WinXP, on a lot of computers you end up with "It is now safe to turn off
your computer" and you will need to use the power button to power off...
 
And one of the downsides to XP and 2000 is the "it is safe to shut down"
screen. I miss the NT one with the restart option, although it was a bit
annoying to bump the spacebar when you were reaching for the power button.
