Default Shutdown.EXE Question


Does anybody know which port I need to open to get shutdown.exe to work with
XP firewall enabled? I maintain a lab and use
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -m \\PC### /t 30 /s" to remotely shutdown
the student PCs from the instructor station. Works great if XP firewall is
disabled but does not want to cooperate when firewall is enabled.

Thanks for the quick response. Tried it on one PC and it worked. On my way
to configure the rest.
