I have a XP network.
I am Administrator.
When I open a shell at type: shutdown -m \\Francis -r
I get back access denied.

I understand what this means.

Everything I have read tells me how to type shutdown.

I need to know how to set up my network FIRST so I havePERMISSION or
PRIVILEGE or ACCESS to do this.

Can some one point out the prerequisits to me?
 
If the remote computer is XP Home it may not be possible to do since XP Home
uses only simple file sharing. If it is XP Pro then you need to be logged
onto your computer as a user [logon/password and a password must be used]
that is a local administrator on the computer you wish to shutdown and
simple file sharing needs to be disabled on the XP Pro computer you wish to
shut down. You can use Control Panel/users or lusrmgr.msc [XP Pro only] to
create user accounts. Also you need to have file and print sharing access to
the computer you wish to shut down. If the Windows Firewall is enabled try
disabling it [assuming it will not put the computer at risk] or make sure
that the file and print sharing exception is enabled for computers from your
network or your admin workstation. --- Steve

Yes, they are all XP Pro, I need to go around to all of them and uncheck
simple file sharing. Good url reference BTW. Thanks for the rely I will. I
will be back when I am done.
