Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / January 2006REBOOT HOST COMPUTER USING WINDOWS XP REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION

Absolutely: - Ctrl-Alt-End | Shutdown | Reboot - or Start | Run | shutdown -r -f - or Start | Settings | Windows security.. | Shutdown | Reboot >> Is there any way to reboot the host computer from the client when working >> remotely? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > - or Start | Run | shutdown -r -f > - or Start | Settings | Windows security.. | Shutdown | Reboot Please give attention to the fact that when rebooted, you will not be able to remotely login to the computer ... In "workgroup" mode in any case. In domanial mode, the DC will keep the "TS" connection alive (I think so ...). The best method to reboot your computer si actually the command "start | Run | shutdown -r -f -t 5 (to wait 5 seconds before). You will see a message showing you that your computer shall restart in 5 seconds. STRONGRUNNER wrote: > Is there any way to reboot the host computer from the client when > working remotely?

If your configuration is setup correctly - you can reboot as often as you like remotely and still be able to remote back in to continue working remotely - no matter if your PC is a member of a domain or not. As for the second part - I do not know if I agree with the shutdown command being "the best method" - but it certainly is *one method* that can be used.

Following your way, best method to reboot would be: Start | Run | shutdown -r -f -t 0 >>> Absolutely: >>> - Ctrl-Alt-End | Shutdown | Reboot [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > That is NOT true. That's what happened on ALL computers I set up for remote desktop control ... BUT i always change the default RDC port in registry for these computers (55xxx instead of 3389) and that's the only change i made. I asked Microsoft if this change could affect the way RD works but they reply to my mail with a simple answer : "No". So ? ... >> The best method to reboot your computer si actually the command "start | >> Run | shutdown -r -f -t 5 (to wait 5 seconds before).

I have a few machines with changed RDC port, no problems connecting after reboot. > >> The best method to reboot your computer si actually the command "start | [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > If you want !

Once I decided on force option (-f), I don't have to "properly leave all running programs", whatever that means. >>>>> Absolutely: >>>>> - Ctrl-Alt-End | Shutdown | Reboot [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > I have a few machines with changed RDC port, no problems connecting after > reboot. I have not done something else than changing RDC port ... after reboot, impossible to connect. I "must" log in at least once ! >>>> The best method to reboot your computer si actually the command "start >>>> Run | shutdown -r -f -t 5 (to wait 5 seconds before).

Right :D but it let me the time to shut properly my word processor and save my work that I did not see :p ! |
