Remote Shutdown Windows Computers

Recommended Posts

It didn't work for me with IP, but it work using computer-name.

This worked for me:

shutdown -m PCNAME -t 30 -c "Bye bye!! I'm gonna shutdown" -s

 Where PCNAME is the name of the PC to be shutdown. If you want to know a PCNAME from an IP address (or vice versa), I suggest you to use ipname utility, you can download here http://digiland.libero.it/

People do this all the time at my school and it is really a pain in the butt :D. It gets REALLY annoying and they think its just hilarious... They even did it to one of our teachers once when he was teaching our class... It displayed the user name of the person that shut it down, so he wrote it down... I imagine they got in a good bit of trouble :D It hasn't been happening as much lately though lol... seems like it has gotten old or something... thankfully.

you can also go to command promt and type in shutdown -I. Then click add and put in the ip and click ok and it shuts it down.

This requires tweaking in vista but it works eventually xD Very nice for turning peoples computers off if they annoy you on MSN accumpanied with a netstat. Theres a batch file that does it also but it cant be stopped which may be good for school (if your network admin are stupid and allow .bat (like mine)).

haha. at my school the admins disabled .bats but they think that we don't know how to make a bat file out of a txt document.... one time a kid had shutdown one lab of computers by doing that and the admins freaked out. it was very funny ;)

Thank-you for the tutorial much appreciated!

There is an easy way to get around .bat without an RM error. I will post a tutorial soon.
When we was at school we called them technicians. But things have changed ;).
