Remote shutdown

Here is a simple way that you can use to shutdown remote computer (distant computer) from your desktop or a workstation in a network. I’ve not tried this particular tweak over the internet but I did try this over the local network at college and it worked fine as hell. So, I’m sure that it will also work over the internet also ‘coz internet is also a network; well a biggest network of network. I sat down in one of the computer and shutdown other computers without touching any cables or power switches of any of the computers. Everyone thought that it was some kind virus. Even our networking couldn’t figure out what really happened. He was perplexed too.

Here is the simple procedure showing how you can do it:

• Start -> run
• Type ‘shutdown -i’ (without quotes) and enter
• Remote Shutdown Dialog box will appear
• Add the computer in the network
• Choose from what you want to do with the computer(restart/logoff/shutdown)
• Select other options according to you need, press OK

Now just wait and watch that computer getting logoff or shutdown. You can even type a message for them to display (such as this is virus or sort of sort of things). This will really scare the hell out of others. Try it, it’s really cool and enjoy the fun.
