Access denited when i try a remote shutdown 2 PC on the lan network

Are you sure you sucessfully set the privilege?   Here is a VB.Net example that I use:

Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Module SetPrivilegs
    <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack:=4)> _
    Private Structure LUID_AND_ATTRIBUTES
        Dim Luid As Long
        Dim Attributes As Integer
    End Structure

    <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack:=4)> _
    Private Structure TOKEN_PRIVILEGES
        Dim PrivilegeCount As Integer
        Dim Privilege As LUID_AND_ATTRIBUTES
    End Structure

    <DllImport("advapi32.dll")> _
    Private Function OpenProcessToken _
        (ByVal ProcessHandle As IntPtr, _
         ByVal DesiredAccess As Integer, _
         ByRef TokenHandle As IntPtr) _
        As Boolean
    End Function

    <DllImport("advapi32.dll")> _
    Private Function LookupPrivilegeValue _
        (ByVal lpSystemName As String, _
         ByVal lpName As String, _
         ByRef lpLuid As Long) _
         As Boolean
    End Function

    <DllImport("advapi32.dll")> _
    Private Function AdjustTokenPrivileges _
        (ByVal TokenHandle As IntPtr, _
         ByVal DisableAllPrivileges As Boolean, _
         ByRef NewState As TOKEN_PRIVILEGES, _
         ByVal BufferLength As Integer, _
         ByVal PreviousState As IntPtr, _
         ByVal ReturnLength As IntPtr) _
         As Boolean
    End Function

    Const TOKEN_QUERY As Integer = &H8
    Const TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES As Integer = &H20
    Const SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME As String = "SeShutdownPrivilege"
    Const SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED As Integer = &H2

    Public Function SetPrivileges() As Boolean
        Dim hProc, hToken As IntPtr
        Dim luid_Shutdown As Long
        Dim tp As New TOKEN_PRIVILEGES

        ' get the current process's token
        hProc = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle
        hToken = IntPtr.Zero
        If Not OpenProcessToken(hProc, TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES Or TOKEN_QUERY, hToken) Then
            Return False
        End If

        ' get the LUID for the Sutdown privileges (provided it already exist)
        luid_Shutdown = 0
        If Not LookupPrivilegeValue(Nothing, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, luid_Shutdown) Then
            Return False
        End If

        tp.PrivilegeCount = 1
        tp.Privilege.Luid = luid_Shutdown
        tp.Privilege.Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED

        ' enable the privileges
        If Not AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken, False, tp, 0, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero) Then
            Return False
        End If

        Return True
    End Function

End Module

Yes i have a SE_REMOTE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege.There are 2 PC (for example A,B) with both windows 2000 , A can shutdown   B  , and B cannot  shutdown A(Access denited).The same source code was tested to 2 PC.But i don't understand the different between A and B.Why B don't shutdown A ?

check the local security policies for the server itself? I believe the user/group that is being used would need to have the ability to "Force Shutdown from a Remote System"

and since you can do it to one computer, but not the other, compare the Security Policies for both of the PCs to see where the differences are at...

the line "Force Shutdown from a Remote System" is administrator and the i' dont see a significative differents on the Security Policies betwen the 2 PC.

are you coding this using a specific language? from what I can see there are several languages that use the API you reference in your first post... if you are, you might want to have this moved to the appropriate area as it would possibly be more of an issue with the code.... also, reference to https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20928585/Batch-file-to-restart-PC.html and see if anything there helps you figure out where the issue is at....

hope some of this helps...

okay, this appears to be something that is more deserving of the VB section of the programming area and should be posted there in my honest opinion...

I think the problem is not a source code (1 PC work fine) but a PC configuration.I don't know the fondamental parameter that cause the error (access deniter).What can i do ?

I understand.I logged as administrator group and not as 'administrator'.Can i logged as Marco (for example) and be administator.

Yes the error is on line 31.If i logged with 'administrator' work fine.If i logged with 'Marco' (Marco is administrator group) don't work.In another PC if i logged with michele (michele is administrator group) work fine.On my PC if i logged with 'Marco' don't work (only if i logged with administrator work fine).Can i logged with Marco and shutdown another PC or i must logged only with 'administrator' for solved a problem ?
