shutdown -i Problem.....

[Thomas Holmes]

If this is in the wrong section i'm sorry, this is my first visit.

Hi all, I have recently been trying out the "shutdown -i" command via cmd. The problem is that one of the computers connected to the domain will not shutdown. I am attempting to do this from the DC and am using the built-in administrator account so i am in the domain admin group. it's weird as I can get the shutdown -i to work on all computers but one.

Cheers for all your help..

Errors? messages?

try this:

shutdown -i -m \\IP_DC

No errors/messages are shown. Also the OS of the computer i am trying to shutdown is windows 7.
Also the command you specified doesn't work because "Shutdown -i" actually opens a graphical interface outside of CMD

And without -i?

When i type in:

shutdown -m \\IPADDRESS

I just get the syntax, the same as if i was to type in:

shutdown /?

Thanks for all your help so far
