how to remotely shutdown a computer?

[Jinny]

hi all, i get annoyed by my roomates leaving their computer on 24/7, because this energy crisis is doubling our energy bill. any way i can remotely shut down their computers (win98), from my machine? (win2k), mini network here with my machine as server and NAT.

you can try pcanywhere or RAdmin
both have shareware versions

 

There is a tool in the Windows NT resource kit that lets you do this. I don't know if it's in the Win2k one, but it was in the NT 4.0 server one.

I would recomend Win-VNC. It has worked flawlessly for me and is freeware.
here is a link.

if they are roomates it would be easier to walk over and turn it off...

and when you say shutdown there machines, i assume u have permission?

Go to your basement & pull the fuse out that goes to their room.
