I assume you can ping the 'office-pc' 
 
Can you try 
net use H: \\office-pc\C$ /user:office-pc\user 
&lt;enter password when prompted&gt; 
 
If this works, psshutdown should work as well 
 
If this does not work, you remote request might get mapped to the guest account 
 
try: 
 
(1) Turn off simple file sharing and thus turn on classical file sharing like on Win2K. 
(2) Turn of network users identify as guests and thus turn on network users identify as themselves like on Win2K 
 
Hope this helps

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My remtoe desktop starting freezing up upon logging in, so I am attempting to remotely restart th computer. 
 
It is not part of a domain, but I am connected via hamachi. 
 
I tried the following commnad: 
pssshutdown \\XX.XXX.XXX.XXX -r -t 30 -u office-pc\user -p passw0rd 
 
WHere office-pc is the computer name and user is the username. 
 
however, I get the following error: 
Couldn't access XX.XXX.XXX.XXX: 
Access is denied. 
 
If XX.XXX.XXX.XXX is already performing a shutdown operation you must 
abort it before issuing a different command. 
 
 
It is definitely the right password. 
 
ANy suggestions?
