Is there a way I can remotely reboot one of my machines? I have setup a TV
server but occasionally the software serving the TV crashes and I would like
to remotely reboot the machine. I could have remote desktop access to
another machine on the network but would prefer to run apache and use it to
remotely reboot.

Thanks
Allan

Hello,

Well, you should use the win32 API InitiateSystemShutdownEx()
function,
simply because, it works great locally and remotely as well.

Hope these information helps.

Kellie.

Excellent, this looks like it will do the trick. Is there a way to
Enumerate the windows machine names visible on the network? I will make a
more general utility to shutdown/reboot any machine on the network.

Thanks.
Allan

Hmm, I keep getting error 5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED) from InitiateShutdownEx().
My code is below. I am logged in as a user with administrator priveleges.
Do you know what I need to do to get this working?

Thanks,
Allan


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
bool lSuccess = false;

while (!lSuccess)
{
if (DialogBox(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAINDLG), NULL,
(DLGPROC)GetDetails) == CANCELLED)
return EXIT_FAILURE;

// get the privelege for shutting down
HANDLE lHToken;
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES lTKP;

// Get a token for this process.
if (!OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES |
TOKEN_QUERY, &lHToken))
return EXIT_FAILURE;

// Get the LUID for the shutdown privilege.
if (LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_REMOTE_SHUTDOWN_NAME,
&lTKP.Privileges[0].Luid) == 0)
{
DWORD d=GetLastError();
DWORD a= d;
}

lTKP.PrivilegeCount = 1; // one privilege to set
lTKP.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;

// Get the shutdown privilege for this process.
AdjustTokenPrivileges(lHToken, false, &lTKP, 0, (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL,
0);

if (GetLastError() != ERROR_SUCCESS)
return EXIT_FAILURE;

DWORD lReason = SHTDN_REASON_MAJOR_SOFTWARE;
if (InitiateSystemShutdownEx(gMachineName, gReason, gTimeout, gForce,
gReboot, lReason))
{
lSuccess = true;
MessageBox(NULL, "Shutdown Initiation Successful", "Success",
MB_ICONINFORMATION);
}
else
{
DWORD d = GetLastError();
}

// take away shutdown priveledges
lTKP.Privileges[0].Attributes = 0;
AdjustTokenPrivileges(lHToken, false, &lTKP, 0, (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL,
0);
}

return lSuccess?EXIT_SUCCESS:EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Make your network a domain. Or don't use dhcp & then you'll have a
solid ip list of each machine.
