Can't execute shuhdown.exe via remote desktop anymore

[anonymous]

I realize that I can't execute shutdown.exe ( lies in
windows/system32 ) in a computer I am remoting into.
I think this because of several updates made after fresh
installation of winxp sp1.
I used to execute shutdown.exe when I attemped to reboot
the client computer which I remoted into for several
purpose such as after doing update, etc. ( shutdown.exe -r
is enough for me to do it ).
Now If I execute shutdown.exe, the remotes computer
doesn't react anymore.
Anyone has an idea ?

cheers,

miss bill

hi ,
Yeah thats wierd , i dont know if you wanna make sure of the cause you have to uninstall SP1 , which is aint worth lol ..

sometimes Explorer.exe does'nt end as you request to shutdown so you have to end it manually and then try again ...
i have a batch file that looks like this
Echo off
shutdown -r
..
You can use the -m command .. that might work though .


here is some other options you can use .
-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 war

Yours moo.
