You might ask them... That should help you to stop thinking about it

shutdown -s -f -m \\"name of computer" -t 30

it's weird that anyone other than an administrator would be using that command...to my knowledge you need to have administrative privelages on a machine for the shutdown command to run...

my suggestion...talk to IS staff..and HR staff...if someones messing with you at work it could be concidered harrassment

It's called Group Policy..

You need to speak with someone from MIS and have them restrict use of the Command Prompt using GP. That's ridiculous, I would have the person fired for doing that.

You dont need to be an admin, all you need access to is the command prompt.

if this is in a domain environment and you're using the /m switch...i'm almost 100% sure you need admin rights

Hmm, ill have to look into that.

Are you actually in a Domain enviroment? I guess i should have asked that already

Yer, we are in a domain enviroment and they will have administrator rights the two people that can do it!

I think it is more of a joke wise and i'd like to know how to block there access, i too have administrator rights!

You need to have someone edit the accounts and take away those administrator rights. They have no business with them.

No they are network adminstrators! I think people are taking the wrong spin on this, there doing this more of a joke thing and i wanna know how the have restricted access to there machines and how i can do it as they will all have admin rights

if someone in the IS department is "joking" with you like this...you need to go to HR...because if they're abusing their administrative privilages in such a small way...then they are probably doing something else that they shouldn't be as well....you need to talk to someone within your company about this...there's nothing we can do to help you
