shutdown.exe not working on remote WinXP systems

R

Russell

Trying to use shutdown.exe /m \\computername /s to shutdown remote Win XP
PCs. I am running command from PC that is member of same domain and under
windows account that is Domain Admin. This command does not work until I
turn off Windows firewall on the remote PC. I need to figure out what
Windows firewall exception to make to allow shutdown.exe to properly
execute. Any suggestions appreciated. Russell

Dear Russell,

Thanks for your post, and also appreciate JS's assistance.

The "shutdown" command should be based on RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
protocol to perform remote shutdown, So the RPC related ports are what
Windows Firewall exception use to allow "shutdown" command to properly
execute.

Local RPC connects to the remote server's RPC Endpoint at a well-known port
(port 135). The RPC Endpoint then assigns dynamically assigned ports
between 1024-65535 (by default) for the further operations.

Based on the mechanism of RPC, we should open port 135 TCP/UDP for the RPC
initiative and ports 1024-65535 TCP for RPC work on the Windows Firewall.

About how to configure Windows Firewall exception, please refer to the
following link which provided by JS:

advanced users

If anything is unclear or needs to be of further assistance, please feel
free to let me know.

Happy new year!

Russell

thanks for the helpful input.

fyi, I ended up just making an exception for File and Print Sharing, and
that effectively accomplished opening the necessary ports.
