Remotley Shutting down a computer, access denied?

Energize · 4 Feb 2006 at 19:45

I have tried to shutdown computers on my network but everytime I try it just says access is denied. I go into ms dos and type shutdown.exe -i then I add the computers I want to shutdown but when I do it will only shut the local comuter down, it says access denied next to all the other pcs. :confused:

I have an administrator account "ash" on all the pcs on the network so why does it says access denied?

Ive been doing that from the start. Ive tried it with the administrator logon and another account. Another thing is when I try to add computers in the -i window and goto browse it always says the directory service is currently unavalible.
