Best Method of Resetting a Win2k system over Network?

[euankirkhope 0]

MMC?

Telnet?

Malformed Packet? ( only joking)

 

I have a win2kPro machine running wingate (ICS and NAT), and it is a bit buggy, and RAS (the dialer Icon in systray) hangs after a while, so even though the network is fine, the modem (winbond 6692 ISDN)

Resetting? As in rebooting? If so, shutdown.exe works great, and it come with the NT Resource kit. I think that there is a freebie version floating around too if you can't get the NTRes kit version.

ptree (in the resource kit) also can be used to view and kill remote processes.

there is 'rkill' as well. they also ported a ton of other *nix commands to 2000 you can also use.

 

c:\>shutdown \\computer_name

 

or

C:\>shutdown

 

and this will bring up a dialog box then you select the machine you want to shutdown. you can also select to reboot or perform a straight shutdown. If you need the resource kit I may be able to 'locate' you a copy

 

cheers

I think I "gave" the resource and deployment kits away! I have some old beta cd boxes, around, I'll look in them.

IMHO, nothing beats Famatechs Remote administrator, its light, cool, and you ´get the remote machines screen in a window. You can use the mouse to reboot remote or you can just select it directly. Check it out at
