Как из linux выключить windows

There may be more setup to do, especially for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and further windows versions, to allow remote shutdown:

Part A) On the Windows machine:

1) Add a remote shutdown security policy:

• run secpol.msc

• in the program tree, open Security Settings > Local Policies > User rights Assignment

• Find the entry Force shutdown from a remote system

• Edit the entry, add the windows user account that will be used for shutdown (ex: nouknouk)

2) Add registry keys to disable UAC remote restrictions:

• Run regedit.exe as Administrator

• Find HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System

• Create a new registry DWORD(32) value named LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and then assign it the value 1

3) Start remote registry service:

• Open cmd.exeas Administrator

• Execute the two following commands:

  sc config RemoteRegistry start= auto

  sc start RemoteRegistry

Part B) On the Linux machine:

1) install the package samba-common:

It depends on your Linux distribution, but for Debian and derivated (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, …), the apt-get command can be executed like that:

apt-get install samba-common

2) To actually shutdown your Windows machine from the Linux one, run the following command:

net rpc shutdown -f -t 0 -C 'message' -U userName%password -I xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt

Where:

• -f means force shutting down all applications (may be mandatory)

• -t 0 is the delay before doing it (0 means ‘right now’).

• -U user%password is the local user and his password on the windows machine (the one that has been allowed to do remote shutdown in part A).

• -I is the IP address of the windows machine to shutdown.

If you’ve ever wanted to remotely reboot a Windows box from your Linux machine, the Command-Line Fu web site has you covered with the quick and easy command to use.

In order to actually use this command, you’ll need to make sure that you have the samba-common package installed for Ubuntu, or the corresponding package for your Linux distribution. The simple sudo apt-get install samba-common command will do it for any Debian-based Linux.

Now you can reboot a machine remotely with the following syntax, making sure to use a username that has administrative privileges on the Windows box:

net rpc shutdown -I IPADDRESS -U USERNAME%PASSWORD

If you omit the password section, you’ll be prompted on the command line for the password—which might be more secure if you are worried about somebody looking through your terminal history. You can add the -f parameter to force a shutdown, which might be necessary to make sure the remote machine actually shuts down.

Readers should note that a number of factors may influence whether this technique actually works—if the machine has a desktop firewall installed or the file sharing services are disabled it probably won’t work, but it’s still a very helpful technique that might come in handy.

For more, learn how you can shutdown Windows with a text message, use the shutdown.exe GUI to turn Windows off, or even shutdown, restart, or sleep your Vista PC in a few keystrokes.

Shutdown a Windows machine from Linux [Command-Line Fu]

I have a system comprised of, let’s say 10 Windows 7 Professional workstations, joined to a domain.

As part of an «emergency» system shutdown procedure, I’d like a mechanism of triggering a remote shutdown, from a Linux controller (which is in turn, a service orchestration tool). The word «emergency» is in quotes because it’s not really an emergency, but still need a mechanism other than simply telling the users to turn the workstations off.

So, I’ve looked at psexec, which is almost ideal, except only seems triggerable from another windows machine. .. I suppose it’s not impossible to have a windows server trigger the workstation shutdown procedure, but that’s not ideal.

I gather one option is to install Cygwin, and OpenSSH, but frankly, that seems bulky.

What I’d like, ideally.. Is a program that runs as a service, with local (or domain) Administrator privileges, listening on a port, for a SSL-encrypted, RESTful API call like, http://workstation:8888/admin/shutdown?key=secretsharedkey.

Do I need to write something in C#.net, or is there a tool out there for cross-platform triggering of a shutdown of a windows workstation?
