remote shutdown problem: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

host: CentOS 5.4 (Linux)
guest: XP-Pro-SP3
Virtual Machine: Virtual Box 3.0.12

I am trying to shut down my Windows XP guest from my Linux machine with
the following code:

$ net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "some comment here" -f -I 192.168.224.207\
-U administrator%iamnottellingyou

I get back:
Shutdown of remote machine failed
result was: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED

I tried it with my user account (which has admin rights) too.
No joy.

I did disabled my XP firewall for the test. Anyone know what I am doing
wrong? What is WERR_ACCESS_DENIED?

Many thanks,
-T

Turn off "Simple File Sharing" on the Windows XP Professional machine.

You called it. Thank you! Happy camping has returned.

Follow up question: My first XP VM with Kaspersky Internet
Security Suite ("Windows Firewall" = off) shut right down.

My second XP VM waited for me to turn off the "Windows
Firewall" (no Kaspersky on that one).

What do I have to tell "Windows Firewall" to get this to work?

Many thanks,

Never mind. After I rebooted it, it responded perfectly.
