The machine you are shutting down is HOME or PRO
Firewall on or off?

[gerryf]

NET USE \\{computername}\IPC$ /user:administrator {password}
then
shutdown -s -f -m \\{computername}-t 30

[CHEVELLEXP]

okay my computer is PRO so i would have to type this: net use \\computername\IPC$/users:Administrator"password" then shutdown -i on the same line?

[gerryf]

no...different lines

NET USE \\{computername}\IPC$ /user:administrator {password}
ENTER

you will get a reply saying the command completed successfully

THEN
type
shutdown -s -f -m \\{computername}-t 30
hit ENTER

so is there a space between the $ sign and the / sign ?

also no quotes around the password?

[gerryf]

yes, there is a space
no, no quote marks
