Shutdown remote Computer

[nitron 0]

Hy All,

I have a question.

I may have searched for the wrong phrases...

I need to to use a Shutdown comand on a remote Computer...

I normally do that via

shutdown /r /f /m \\HOSTPC /c "restart"

wich works quite fine!

But, and here is the Problem, this won't work for a Host, when done via sheduled Task!

It works if i start the bat file, from hand!

I know the Bat file is run for i simply added a test Batch wich is run.

The Problem is, i am not able to catch the error message, if there is one!

So i thought of using the Shutdown Command within Autoit!

But it seems it will only shut down the Computer it is startet on.

Is there a way to do this with any network PC?!

Thanks in advance!

In the bat file you start via scheduled task pipe the output to a text file and see whats going wrong.

Missing permissions I suspect.

shutdown /r /f /m \\HOSTPC /c "restart" >>C:\temp\shutdown.txt

I tried to pipe it, but that does not work... for what reason, what so ever...

Its defninitivly not the Rights... I use the domain Admin... So that can't be the reason.

I hoped to get more infos using the error handle using AutoIT :-/

Maybe this thread sheds some light on it.
