Vista - User executed "System Shutdown (1115)"

Hello members,
I wonder if anyone could tell me how a user could execute a command to begin a system shutdown (Event ID: 1115).

This is the type of shutdown windows executes when it encounters a critical error such as services.exe being killed. I cant find a way to execute it, even executing a shutdown command under the SYSTEM account doesn't seem to work.

I need it because once executed it cannot be aborted even by an admin (as far as i can see).

I need to be able to do it without causing an error though, and suggestions?

Thanks

Are you trying to shut down the system in a particular way, or perhaps attempting to track down who's causing the server to be shut down?

From the sounds of it, you're trying to "cause" something, but I'm not clear on the what and why. You want to terminate a critical process (winlogon, smss, csrss, lsass...) and you want the system to shut down, but without logging any errors?

Terminating any of those processes really is dangerous on a running system, not just because it leads to a reboot, obviously, but also because of the potential for user data corruption.

If you can clarify the situation someone might be able to help.

No no, I mean i want to be able to make the system shutdown as if something were killed but without killing anything. If you kill something important it wont let you abort the shutdown however if you start a shutdown yourself you can abort. I want it to be once you execute the shutdown command you cant abort. So maybe a 300 second shutdown countdown without the possibility of aborting.

Why?

Long story lol

if you have a timeout period you cant stop anyone aborting the shutdown , as far as i can see the /a command will always abort , i dont think you can prevent it.


edit..............sorry not read the question properly ignore me

I'll bet it is

Sounds like you might be a budding l33+ /-/@XX0R. Careful. If the IT resources in question are not yours, and you're in effect attempting to DoS someone else that's also using the same server, you could be legally liable should they wish to string you up and make an example out of you.

Lol dont worry its nothing illegal, well not really its my friend. Kinda have a war thing going on . I think its legal to break into your friends if he is ok with it isnt it?
