| | Re: Remote computer restart ? Thank you for the helpful reply. Unless you indicate otherwise, I take this to mean that we can force a shutdown or restart only from the 'Run' command line in Vista? We will give this a try, thanks. ************************* "Sooner Al [MVP]" <SoonerAl@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6153AC7E-AEAE-4235-89B4-9FB346B883E8@xxxxxx Quote: > "Blue Max" <mailrichard@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:C143C134-7A15-4801-BF3C-0B7604736893@xxxxxx Quote: >> How do we shutdown or restart the computer remotely using Windows Vista >> Remote Desktop?

| | Re: Remote computer restart ? Thanks, Greeny. I knew I had issued a restart over Remote Desktop on prior occasions and your suggestion prompted the thought that we must have accessed the option from the Windows Task Manager. However, I did not follow your reference to "Start > Windows Security"? I am using Vista and have customized my 'Start' menu to some degree, but don't fully understand where you are referring to here? Can you expound a little?

| | Re: Remote computer restart ? Follow-up here to my last reply, Greenie. After a little perusing, I discovered that the new WindowsVista Task Manager does not have the old XP options to 'Shutdown' or 'Restart' the computer. So now I am really curious where you were headed with the "Start > Windows Security" suggestion.

| | Re: Remote computer restart ? Are you using the classic or the new Vista start menu? At least on the Vista start menu, I have an option called "Windows Security" (ONLY when logged in via RD though). Screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/3c3xxn ("Windows-Sicherheit" is German for "Windows Security") I don't know, it's probably disabled in the classic start menu, it can also be disabled via group policies. Anyway, you can just press CTRL+ALT+END as Al suggested, that should have the same effect. Regards, greeny Quote: >"Blue Max" wrote: > Follow-up here to my last reply, Greenie.

| | Re: Remote computer restart ? Okay, it certainly helps to know that the 'Security' option is only available when logged in with RD. I will explore that further (it rings a bell), but Al suggested that this simply opens 'Task Manager', correct? Yet, as I indicated, Task Manager doesn't appear to have a 'Shutdown' or 'Restart' option in Vista even if we can bring it up? **************************** "greeny" <thisisf@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:472913ef$0$5200$9a6e19ea@xxxxxx Quote: > Are you using the classic or the new Vista start menu?

| | Re: Remote computer restart ? I got it, Greeny! When logged in with Remote Desktop we can see the 'Windows Security' item on the Vista Start menu. Unfortunately, upon selecting the link, there is not an option to 'Restart' or 'Shutdown' the host! What are your findings?
