remote desktop windows xp only and wireless router
Hello,
i want to use remote desktop on the following configuration:
- 3 PC's (all with windows prof xp)
- 1 Router Dlink DI 624
- 2 PC's connected to the router via network cable, one laptop connected to router via pcmcia wireless card
I want to be able to shut down one of the 2 Pc's connected via cable to the router with my laptop connected to the router via wireles card.
How can this be done? I am stuck. because i cant get any access to the pc's. When i try the remote desktop at the laptop it sasy to me, that there is no terminal server available.

You run it on your computer, for example:
shutdown -s -m \\otherpc -c "Go bye-bye"
Alternatively, if you run "shutdown -i" it'll pop up a nice window with options for you :-)
shutdown -s -m \\otherpc -c "Go bye-bye"
Alternatively, if you run "shutdown -i" it'll pop up a nice window with options for you :-)
Is the Remote Desktop Help Session Manager service running?

It's a service. Go to the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. They're in alphabetical order. Scroll down until you find that service, then start it.

This solution is only available to members.

If all you're trying to do is shutdown the machine, you might want to take a look at the "shutdown" command:
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "c
omment"] [-d up:xx:yy]
No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without war
ning
-d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)
As for RDP not working, have you enabled remote-control for these PCs?
You can find this in Control Panel > System > Remote
I hope that this helps.
