Hello Group:
Both Systems: Windows XP/SP3
I use Windows remote desktop from home to my office computer.
Everything works fine unless I have to restart the office computer
from home. Every command I've tried from the home computer just shuts
the office computer down, and does not restart it. (The remote office
computer does not have a CMOS or other startup password preventing its
retarting.)
Here's what I've tried:
1. Start|Run|Taskmgr--->Shutdown|Restart
(CTRL-ALT-DEL) of course typed on the home keyboard only brings up the
taskmgr for the home computer.)
2. ALT-CTRl-END, and then choose "restart"
3. Batch commands such as this one (I didn't write any of them):
:START
cls
@echo off
echo.
echo Remote Desktop Client - shutdown or restart
echo.
echo When you use Remote Desktop you do not have
echo the usual restart/shutdown choices.
echo This will RESTART or SHUTDOWN the remote client
echo according to your choice.
echo.
echo 1. Restart
echo 2. Shutdown
echo 3. Abort
echo.
set /p userinp= Choose a number(1-3):
set userinp=%userinp:~0,1%
if "%userinp%"=="1" goto restart
if "%userinp%"=="2" goto shutdown
if "%userinp%"=="3" goto end
echo invalid choice
goto start
:restart
*******************************************************************
I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Maybe it's something on the
remote computer which keeps it from restarting remotely.
Thanks!
