Hello, I am attempting to remotely shutdown and power off a Win2K server with a Samba 3 client. The Win2K server shuts down and powers off normally with a GUI shutdown command from its own console. I am able to remotely shutdown the Win2K server with the Samba client, using the "net rpc shutdown" command, but the Win2K server only shuts down without powering off, displaying the message "It is now safe to turn off your computer". This isn't terribly useful since I'm not at the console. I would like to know if and how it is possible to get the Win2K server to power off on shutdown with the Samba client utlities. TIA, -- Michael

It's probably just a flag we are missing in the 'net rpc shutdown'request. Do you have a windows tool that will do the rmeote shutdown and power off correctly ? Could you send me an ethereal trace of that ? Or tell me which tool to use in testing. jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC5PI4IR7qMdg1EfYRAmBIAKCJK7j80FK4wAl7bcdrfa/w/YMPUgCgt6xK 6uQwzIhVp+Hpd8O5QoU8Na0=HTrt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
