The problem:
A laptop has been left running (not on battery) in location X (about 300 miles away) with the administrator logged in.
I need to shut down this machine from location Y.
Its in a VPN with my main server in location Y.
Solutions:
I've tried everything from command prompt scripts to remote shutdown tools, nothing works.
To make matters worse, there is no one I can get in touch with to shut down the laptop for me over there.
Notes:
Remote laptop is running XP Home edition SP1 with latest updates.
Its sitting behind a router with the IP of 192.168.1.12
Remote Desktop login is enabled but I cant seem to log in?
Any ideas fellas?
