RE: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk

[Tony S. Sykes]

Thanks for all the replies. I will go the Cygwin way with ssh as I want
it in a script on my MDK box. It's for taking care of backing up my PC.

Thanks again,

Tony.

p.s. Sorry about the sig but I have no choice as it is auto by our
Exchange server (Not my fault).

That pretty much sums up Windows too sans the UNIX reference (ok ...
they do have perl for windows so I guess it is scriptable)

RE: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk

[Franki]

Two functional answers, one sorta funny, one serious.. :-)

1.
Don't patch the IIS server of the offending win2k machine..

then use the nimda hack to send cmd.exe a shutdown signal...

thats sorta clean...  :-)

2.
Or you could setup ssh server on the win2k machine (google is your friend.)

then write a script on the linux box, to log into the win2k machine and send
it a shutdown signal...

There might be an easier way. (like using the telnet server in win2k) but
ssh is safer and more secure.

Do you mean with ssh?

Is the cygwin ssh integration with the windows passwd file?

Could you explain why you consider VNC a "not good" option? Just
curious.

Re: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk

[Jim Dawson]

I can think of a few options, none of them good.

1: Install VNC on both machines.
2: (if W2k Server) Install Terminal Services Remote Administration mode, Use a linux 
RDP client to connect to the W2K. I have seen a RDP client for Linux but can't 
remember where, a quick Google search should point you in the right direction.
3: (if W2K Server) Install the Telnet service on the W2k box. Execute the 'Shutdown' 
command via telnet. This requires the telnet service be configured to use Kerberos 
authentication and the Linux box be in the same kerboros domain. This would introduce 
many nasty security holes and I'm not sure it would work anyway.
4: Install a web server (IIS or Apache) and make CGI/ASP script to execute the 
'shutdown' command.

Umm...for a server, use desktop to connect to the win box and the select 
shutdown.
I usually have a "toolbox" set up somewhere with all the fun little reskit 
tools. Theres one called shutdown.exe that works a treat on a workstation or 
server - easiest way is connect to the toolbox and then run shutdown from 
there to shutdown the target.

Format C: is probably the best way though
