I am trying to force a remote shutdown from my laptop to my PC:
machine> shutdown -m \\192.168.2.10 -s -f -t 0
192.168.2.10: Access denied(5)
I am in a WLAN/LAN environment:
- Laptop is in WLAN with IP
192.168.2.100
(DHCP), Win 7 (64 bit)
- PC is connected via LAN
192.168.8.10
(static), Win 7 (32 bit)
- Router IP
192.168.2.1
/Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Access to PC is restricted by username and password.
What do I have to change about the command or about the systems configurations - whilst access restrictions have to remain as is?
You can use the NET USE command to authenticate on the remote server and then use shutdown.exe
NET USE \\MyServer\IPC$ mypassword /USER:myuser

This does not work with UAC enabled, unless the policy LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy is enabled on the remote server.
When a user who is a member of the local administrators group on the target remote computer establishes a remote administrative connection by using the net use * \remotecomputer\Share$ command, for example, they will not connect as a full administrator. The user has no elevation potential on the remote computer, and the user cannot perform administrative tasks.
