remote reboot?

[posol]

Anyone know how to remote reboot a machine?

my work pc locked up on me, and now i can't remote desktop to it....

is there anyway to reboot the machine, given i have the IP and admin rights on the network?

use the shutdown command from the DC.

call someone to restart it for you. thats what i had to do everytime my laptop did that shit.

"Grama, unplug the cord in the office. K, now turn it over and pull out the battery. Count to 5 and put it back. Press the power button. THANKS"

Not a windows machine, if rdesktop is hung, that probably means the GUI is hung and because MS packed it into the kernel, you are hosed.

Otherwise it is as simple as
ssh root@machine reboot

from a command prompt type shutdown -r -m \\PC Name

If you do it that way, that will pop up a warning on the PC that says warning this is shutting down and wait 30 seconds... If you add -t 05 it will only wait 5 seconds. You also need to make sure that your security options under the local policies for Network Access: Sharing & Security Model is set to Classic, and not guest.
