ok I have a remote computer that I can ping. It had VNC running on it but I cannot connect to it via VNC any longer. Is there a way through the command line that I can reach it. There is a program on there that my be hung up or not working correctly. I'm trying to see if there is a way that I can restart the pc from my office or if I can use a command line utility to trouble shoot it another way?
it's running NT I think or at most window's 2000 but probably not.
so as a list.
1. How can I connect to it via the command line.
2. Can I restart it remotely from the command line?
3. What trouble shooting or maintenance (such as disk clean maybe) can I do from the command line?
I can ping it so I know it's up and connected to the internet.
Thanks!
Ok so I went to the command line
net view
and it showed that computer
I see the shutdown command with -f for force and -r for restart. i'm not understanding the syntax though. Am I going in the right direction here? If I can see it on the network with net view, I should be able to start and stop specific programs and applications?
Tried a few variations of this.. but didn't work....
Shutdown -m \\unitname -r, -f
shutdown \\unitname -r -f
am I close?
Isn't there a way to use netsh and then ras? Not sure how to do that either! lol
Is there some sort of rdp command as well?
