I am needing to restart a windows server from a linux server.
The error i get is: (i have replaced ip address with xx )
Could not connect to server xx.xx.xx.xx
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED
it fails with that result no matter what.
The commands i have tried are:
net rpc shutdown -I xx.xx.xx.xx -f -U user%password
net rpc shutdown -I xx.xx.xx.xx -f -U domain/user%password
net rpc shutdown -f -I xx.xx.xx.xx -W domain.local -U user%password
I have also tried taking out the password, after executing the command it then asks for a password. If i type the password in it still fails with the NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
It is the Administrator account im trying to login with.
I have temp disabled firewall altogether for a second while testing.
Very lost and its driving me mad. Any helps would be greatly appreciated.
