HELP THIS IS URGENT!

[WDCentral]

Unfortunately I desperately need to reboot my company's server but I only have telnet access (this is a Windows 2000 Advanced Server computer). Is there some command I can type in the console to get it to reboot, I usually use terminal services but it is down.

Thanks for the quick reponse,
Ben

There was a util that shipped with the NT 4.0 resource kit called shutdown.exe that could do it. Do you have this util? It should work on Windows 2000 systems (and a util of this kind could be included in the win2k resource kits).


EDIT: actually, i think i can get a hold of shutdown.exe, PM me and i can try sending it to ya

You can use PSKill (link) to kill processes on remote systems if you have admin access. If you kill "services.exe" that should restart the server.

EDIT: here's a program that'll restart a computer remotely: link
