How to shut down certain computers on network?

[BondExtreme]

I have been asking a lot of these network questions lately.

Yes, yes. It's my family member again.. (brother)

Last problem I asked was how to limit his bandwidth. I am still in the process of that.
This time I want to know how to shut that computer of his off instantly from my computer.
He keeps his screamo music nice and loud in the house and people ask him to turn it down when we want peace and quiet or want to sleep for that matter. He just gives us the average excuse... "I don't care.." -_-

Someone please help me here. I want his computer to 'die' on my watch.
A problem I realized is I don't know the name of his computer on the network. I am certain though that many of you can walk me through this in the cmd. Thank you!

by remote it. but you need to setup his computer to allow remote connection so you can shut it down it from your pc

 

[hellrazor]

You can flip the breaker for his room.

 

[meran]

just pour water inside his pc that will solve all the problems

 

[fullinfusion]

Wait till he falls asleep and yank out the hard drive and toos it into oncoming traffic lol...

I just went through this with the wife... i set my router to only work for certain hours... when she asked wth IS UP... i JUST TOLD HER west-man MUST BE DOING A UPGRADE LOL...

yOU CAN DO WHAT i DID, tell him to leave! plain and simple.

To turn off the machine remotely you're gonna need to make sure his system is enabled to accept remote control, and you need to know the IP/name of his computer. But im sure you're going to need a piece of software in order to turn his machine off remotely (unless someone knows a way to do it within CMD).

Or you can just beat his PC with a bat and say it was an accident. lol

Sounds like your parents just need to take control of your brother. Or better yet you should just go into his room when he is gone a poke small holes in his speakers

Remote access, ex pcAnywhere. But have to be installed on yours and his computer, and he would pretty much no instantly what it was.

CMD Command "Net View"

Several routers have bandwidth limiting options.

Good luck with that, Family or not...

 

[fullinfusion]

just stab him and toss the body in a near by river lol jk

But really that blows big time!!! he needs to be taught a lesson...!!

Send him a e-mail with a virus lol

Why not just have him buy some headphones?

No need for remote software do do this.

You will need to know his IP or computer name though, which you should be able to figure out by logging into the router.

You can use a shutdown command to remotely shut down his computer, it would look like this:

shutdown -s -f -m \\<computername/IP> -t 01

There is a requirement for this to work though. You have to be logged onto your machine with a username that exists on his computer using the password for that user that is on his computer, and that user has to have administrator rights. So basically, you will have to create a user on your computer that matches his user on his computer in username and password and execute the command under that user account.

Forget all that. If you get an access denied message, first run this command:

net use \\<computername/IP> <his password> /u:<computername/IP>\<his username>

Then run the shutdown command from above.

So if his username was Joebob, and his password was Joebobspassword and his IP was 192.168.1.101 you would run:

net use \\192.168.1.101 Joebobspassword /u:192.168.1.101\Joebob

shutdown -s -f -m \\192.168.1.101 -t 01

If his computer isn't password protected then that is even better because you can just leave out the password part(still run the net use command though).

personally i guess better told him to buy any headphone than force his computer shutdown and start flaming war.
so if he want to listen to it late night he wont disturb anyone.
seriously

easiest way is a router with such features. i use one of them here.

Oh this is easy. disconnect his internet and remove all the power, SATA and IDE cords from his computer. when he bitches "i dont care" is all you need to say.


edit: or just stick a screwdriver through the cones of his speakers.

This wont work if you have Vista/7 Home Premium or Basic. You need to have Professional on up.

ha ha ha this thread goes criminal things. omg

No one should be using those OSes.

easiest way to find the computer is just to scan it, get advanced ip scanner if you want a nifty program to do it, for shutting it down the dos way works great or if you want, use rdp(remote desktop) to log in as the admin and shut it down, just log onto his computer when your not there, set an admin password that he doesn't know and just log him out and shut it down.


EDIT: i got gotoassist here, i could literally remote your desktop over the web and F*** his s*** up roily!!!

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Hey now im using Home Premium.

 

[CDdude55]

Hells no lol, Home Premium FTW!!

Cheapest and gets the job done for most people.

 

[Depth]

net use \\192.168.1.101 Joebobspassword /u:192.168.1.101\Joebob

shutdown -s -f -m \\192.168.1.101 -t 01

Cool, lets find out usernames and passwords on google's servers.

 

[BondExtreme]

Well I just went on and made sure his computer can be controlled remotely. He uses Vista home and I use 7 home premium. :/

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

If you can get back into his system go and add an account for his system in the Administrators groups just in case he adds a password. Get a backdoor account setup so you can't be locked out!

There's about a billion and one fun things to do to the blokes computer.

If you're still on about the shutdown thing then I'm personally fond of newtekie1's method (because I've been doing it for years).

But I have lots of other fun ideas . . .

You could create a not-really-a-virus-but-surprisingly-similar transparent program that automatically turns down the volume on his computer, at 9PM , and/or disables torrenting, internet, etc..

Another option is to install Open SSH or telnet on his computer (which runs as a transparent service). Next create a hidden admin account on the computer and link to it to SSH/telnet. Then login using SSH/telnet and have complete command-line control over his computer (so you can shutdown, end processes, start programs, etc.) on his computer without being really obvious that you're doing it (via remote desktop/VPN/etc.).

The possibilities are endless.

 

[newtekie1]

Well I just went on and made sure his computer can be controlled remotely. He uses Vista home and I use 7 home premium. :/

In that case your best option is probably to install VNC and hiding the icon so you can log on and shut down his computer. The Home editions don't support the shutdown command or remote desktop, so VNC is the next best option.

I'd suggest using TightVNC, only because there is an option rght in the configuration to hide the tray icon(you probably want to delete the Start folder as well).

Hells no lol, Home Premium FTW!!

Everything extra in Professional is way worth the extra $40.

Sometimes us computer nerds tend to over think these things esp in terms of attempting to use technology to tackle a problem that is better solved with low tech, age-old methods.

In other words, just beat his ass or pay someone bigger to do it. Suddenly he'll start caring.
