ok ive brought this problem to 4 different forums. no one can seem to help, so what the heck ill see if anyone knows here. if you can figure this out, you will be deemed the master of computers and will rule the world
-2 winxp computers on fully functional LAN on workgroup "MSHOME"
all i want is to have PC1 be able to remotely shutdown PC2 with the use of the command line exe 'shutdown.exe'(or pstools)
now I understand that PC1 needs admin priviledges to get access to shutdown PC2. the syntax to get full control over a machine would be this:
net use /USER
C2ADMIN \\PC2\IPC$ password
then from there a simple shutdown -s \\PC2 would work. I USED to be able to do this! but since i formatted, it does not work anymore between the two. i get the following error:
Error 5 Access Denied
which obviously means i haven't been authenticated as an admin on that machine to shutdown the machine.
MS doesn't give enough info on how to set this up properly IE what services, what protocols, what permissions, etc.. others said i needed to have the same admin account on PC1 thats on PC2, this isn't true, because i was able to do this without having that account on my pre-formatted machine.
i have WMI service running + remote registry services running on both.
ideas? because everyone else on the internet is out
