In a mail to this list a command for shutting down a PC is mentioned, but without further explanation. It said something like this: net rpc shutdown -S <machine name> I do not get it: who shuts down who? For example, I have a samba acting as a PDC server for network with windows 2K workstaions. Users forget to shut down the ws's and I would like to do that automatically (from cron) in certain time of day. Is there a command that can be sent to a w2k workstation to shutdown? Can samba give that command? Any sugestions? Zoran -- Zoran Ovcin, Dj. Niksica Johana 26/134, Novi Sad, Yugoslavia +381-(0)21-402-422, mailto:zoran@imft.ftn.ns.ac.yu, ICQ# 51891480

So something like: net rpc shutdown -S <domain member> -U DOMAIN\Administrator%adminpw should do it.

If you only want to use net from 3.0, but still use 2.2 for everything else, that's fine. Just make bin/net from samba 3.0. This allows you to type the command on the linux box to remotely shut down the w2k machines. If you want to shut down w2k machines from other w2k machines, you need the w2k resource kit. The command on windows would be "shutdown.exe".

You're right. I tried it on a different XP machine, and sure enough it
works. I guess I didn't know my co-worker's Administrator password
after all ;-).

Nt code 5 is Access Denied. Are you absolutely sure you got the
userid/pw correct?
