I just found out that the shutdown command hasn't been blocked at my college. This could get fun...

do you like breaking bottles on the hyway and spray painting peoples pets too?
who doesn't? ;)
I bet they havn't made the books flame retardent either! or they havn't made the monitors so they can withstand bricks! or the keyboards water-proof!!!
now you aint gonna burn the books, smash in your monitor or take your keyboard swimming with you (at least i hope not) because your common sense should tell you that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should....and if not your common-sense then your instinct for self-preservation ;)
Just cause you can do something doesn't mean you have to do something

Please guys, I'm not gonna HACKSORZ THE NETWORK. I have friends that share their resources that will be more than happy to let me practice on their coms. I'm not an idiot...and our books arn't flame retardant. And as for that moniter well....
have you tested it. Just because it is not blocked doesn't mean you can shut down a remote computer. If you tried you would probably get a reply of "access denied". I'm not saying to try it, i'm just saying it probably wouldn't work anyway.Quote:

I'll get one of my friends to drop his firewall and let me try it out later, now I need sleep.
The title of this thread is funny
Shutting down a remote computer with dos.
it kind of suggests launching a denial of service attack on a remote computer, that is until you actually read the post.
Just wanted to point that out.
If you can get a copy of Pro you can create a group policy that can be copied and installed on the Home computers in the start-up process . . . this way you can either shut-down remotely or set a shut-down time . . .
I'm going to quote myself here and add on:
Today I just noticed another setting located in the same place(in the user rights assignments folder) called force shutdown from a remote system.Quote:
I think I've got it. Hopefully your under winXP pro.
Go to administrative tools>local security policy
In the window go to Local policies>user rights assignment>Shutdown the system
right click, go to properties.
click add user or group.
when you click the locations button you should see your workgroup, click on it then click ok.
Now click on advanced>Find now.
you should see a list of computers in your workgroup. Choose the ones you want to be able to shutdown the computer remotely then click ok>ok>apply>ok.
I got an error saying it was unable to save to the database which is why this didn't work for me. hopefully it works for you though. You may have to reboot for this to take affect.
Good luck.
I added the computer name that I wanted to be able to shut it down and bingo it worked.
I know this doesn't help people using xp home but if you have pro, this is how to give permission to a remote computer to let it shut you down. I actually had to set it to everyone on both of these because it wouldn't save to the database if I gave a computername. So now everyone with xp pro should be able to shutdown their machine from a remote machine on their network.
