One of my LAN computers is running as a duel boot system (XP Pro and
Server). Using Remote Desktop, is it possible to re-boot this system and
switch operating systems (something like shutdown -r ......) ?
 
- use RDP
- edit the boot.ini to have "the other" OS as default
- reboot on start menu or shutdown -r from command line
- wait for the other OS to come up
- RDP in and voila there you go !

rgds,
Edwin.

You want :
bootcfg /default [Options here]

Go in Command Prompt and type :
bootcfg /default /?
 
Many thanks fellows.
