Hello all,

I am basically trying to remote shutdown computers/servers on my school network.

I have gotten to the point where I have access to command prompt, and have been using the command "shutdown -i)

It then brings up a new window where I can browse all devices on the ENTIRE DOMAIN!

But when I try to execute the shutdown, it doesn't work. It will say something like "the target computer is not set up for this" or something about the registry. And then when I try to do the servers it just says access denied.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It works when I do my own computer, though.

The computer has told you everything you need to know - the target device simply doesn't care if you tell it to shutdown. It's not configured to listen for remote shutdown - and for good reason, it sounds like (shutdown -i is not exactly novel - I doubt you're the first student to try it).
I won't, however, tell you how to do it - since you don't have authorization to affect these computers, this is likely illegal activity. It would be unwise for you to continue in this way - I dabbled in even less disruptive activity (Testing only on the computer I was using) and I nearly was expelled for it. Depending on your school and administration, you could be kicked out, and there's a slim chance you could be arrested. This forum does not condone illegal activity - I would commend to you experimenting on a VM lab you set up at home.

Don't worry about me - my school's IT Department is known for being rather stupid when it comes to computer security. I have done many things that they could have found out about easily - but they didn't.

Please tell me the method. Someone.

If you are interested about computing go talk with them and make the security better, sure they would appreciate and they will teach you lot of things.

What's the purpose of shutting down servers, except time wasting for everyone ? You have the choice, try to make something useful for your life.

I'm just a kid in high school just trying to have some fun...after all this is a hacking forum. I'm surprised no one would help me.
