Why would you want to deny them to lock the workstation? -----Original Message----- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 6:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: PSShutdown
Found the issue. First I was wrong on part of my description of the problem. I assumed and that was bad. The shutdown portion of psshutdown does work. It is the lock that does not work. Apparently if the locally logged in users is denied 'lock the workstation' via group policy (which ours are) then you cannot lock it remotely even if you are a domain admin. > -----Original Message----- > From: Phillip Partipilo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 12:18 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: PSShutdown > > You could try using the local system account with psexec. > > psexec -s -c \\computername psshutdown -l (run from within the current > directory where psshutdown.exe is so psexec can find it to copy to the > remote system) > > > > > Phillip Partipilo > Parametric Solutions Inc. > Jupiter, Florida > (561) 747-6107 > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Damien Solodow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 11:58 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: PSShutdown > > > > This inclines me to think that domain admins don't have local admin > rights > on that machine. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 11:49 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: PSShutdown > > Ok, my message is very poorly written.
