Is that before, or after, they've uninstalled FF and gone back to IE ( ;) )?

Are you running a Firewall that could block access?

Re: Remote Server Shutdown
 

I can successfully ping the server so I don't think a firewall is the issue, all other connectivity is fine.

I think it's something to do with the way that the local machine's account is set up.

I'm going to go through the server settings tomorrow when I get a chance and make sure I haven't missed anything obvious when I've set the accounts up.

Re: Remote Server Shutdown
 

We have a thing called "shutgui" that closes servers remotely when they're stuffed. It only works if you first map a drive to the server, and supply the administrator username/password...

Oh and instead of domain, you can use the server name in scastle's runas command.

*cough* Windows Resource Kit *cough* Admittedly they've just taken the best unix commands (ps, su, grep, etc...) and written Windows versions, but at least you can at last do some useful stuff from the commadn line.

I didn't know that, I'm assuming that this will be a registry tweak.

My ears are *****ed up as well.....
