Shutdown Server from local workstaion
I have a SBS 2011 server that I can't get into the local physical console or rdp in from the outside.
Is their a method of doing a shutdown from a local workstation to do a reboot?
Last time I had a hang like this ,I had to do a cold boot and it corrupted a bunch of exchange files and I had to have M$ dial to fix.
