Shutdown two Computers that are Networked together.

[devarajan]

Shutdown two Computers that are Networked together:

*open command prompt

*start---> run---> cmd

type---> shutdown... it'll give what switches available.

Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy] 

No args Display this message (same as -?) 
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option 
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option) 
-s Shutdown the computer 
-r Shutdown and restart the computer 
-a Abort a system shutdown 
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort 
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds 
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters) 
-f Forces running applications to close without warning 
-d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown 
u is the user code 
p is a planned shutdown code 
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256) 
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

ALTERNATIVE - FOR NETWORK:


Start>Run>Cmd, then type in shutdown, and gives that info .

shutdown -m bob

If bob was the pc name.

It is not working in windows 2000 advanced server

Maybe the advanced security measrues in windows server systems doesn't allow this type of shutdown !
