RATiO Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 As title, what possible ways are there to remotely restart a workgroup windows xp machine from a windows 8 machine on a domain but on the same network. Preferably without having to log into the xp machine as its constantly running server software under logged in admin user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b10h4z4rd Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Try shutdown /i in either run or the command prompt. That should bring up the Remote Shutdown Dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 PSShutdown and the credentials for the target machine: http://ss64.com/nt/psshutdown.html PSShutdown is apart of PSTools from Microsoft Sysinternals: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted January 19, 2015 MVC Share Posted January 19, 2015 if you have admin account info you can send the shutdown command with /r - just need to auth to the machine before - can be as simple as net use \\machine\ipc$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATiO Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Budmans solution looks good, will give it a go tomorrow Brandon, surely that will not work as you're supplying domain creds to workgroup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
