Remote Server Shutdown

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

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.

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.

You do know that you can turn this rather annoying feature off.

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

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

Go here http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/shutdown.htm but if you go to the first page http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/ there might be a few more tips that you could use.
