Still trying to get remote commands to work.

A simple case: (two XPSP2 machines on a LAN, call them alpha and beta)

From alpha: shutdown -s -m \\beta gives "Access is denied."

Same message when giving shutdown from beta to alpha.

Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix or understand this problem?

Thank you.
 
Thanks for the response. I do have admin rights on the target machine (at
least I should have.) I have admin rights for the same login name (mine) on
both machines. How else do I get it to recognize my admin rights??
 
if you can read the administrator group on the box you have admin access.
also if you can do a star>run \\machinename\c$ sucessfully you are admin.

I use psshutdown from sysinternals.com. Great tool.
