shutdown -i Problem.....

[Thomas Holmes]

If this is in the wrong section i'm sorry, this is my first visit.

 

Hi all, I have recently been trying out the "shutdown -i" command via cmd. The problem is that one of the computers connected to the domain will not shutdown. I am attempting to do this from the DC and am using the built-in administrator account so i am in the domain admin group. it's weird as I can get the shutdown -i to work on all computers but one.

 

Cheers for all your help..

Errors? messages?

 

try this:

 

shutdown -i -m \\IP_DC

[Thomas Holmes]

No errors/messages are shown. Also the OS of the computer i am trying to shutdown is windows 7.

Also the command you specified doesn't work because "Shutdown -i" actually opens a graphical interface outside of CMD

And without -i?

[Thomas Holmes]

When i type in:

 

shutdown -m \\IPADDRESS

 

I just get the syntax, the same as if i was to type in:

 

shutdown /?

 

 

Thanks for all your help so far :)
