Visual basic restart remote computer

Hi

I don't know about remote computers, but you can force a system restart as long as your VB file is on their computer:

Here is a VB script to reboot remote computer:

Just use tsshutdn ... it included in Windows 2000 and up... you can use it to restart remote servers..
As long you've got right for it on that server.

You also can call the program from VB or something like that.. just use WinEXec command for it.

Shut down a server in a controlled manner.

TSSHUTDN [wait_time] [/SERVER:servername] [/REBOOT] [/POWERDOWN]
         [/DELAY:logoffdelay] [/V]

  wait_time           Seconds to wait after user notification before
                      terminating all user sessions (default is 60).
  /SERVER:servername  The server to shut down (default is current).
  /REBOOT             Reboot the server after user sessions are terminated.
  /POWERDOWN          The server will prepare for powering off.
  /DELAY:logoffdelay  Seconds to wait after logging off all connected
                      sessions (default is 30).
  /V                  Display information about actions being performed.
