Hit count: 235
I have 3 "client" computers, on which the mentioned user is administrator:
CPU1: Win Vista 32-bit -- User: Domain\User1 -- IP: 192.168.42.1
CPU2: Win 7 64-bit -- User: localhost\User2 -- IP: 192.168.42.2
CPU3: Win 7 64-bit -- User: Domain\User3 -- IP: 192.168.42.3
And a "target" computer (the one that I want to shutdown from the three others):
TGT: Win 7 64-bit -- User: localhost\User4 -- IP: 192.168.42.21
I'm trying to shutdown TGT
with the following command:
shutdown /s /m \\192.168.42.21
It's working from CPU1
(meaning TGT
shuts down), but from CPU2
and CPU3
I get the following message:
Access denied. (5)
What am I to understand? What should I do to get it working form all of my computers.
