Using the IP was a guess, these things are often interchangable. Unfortunatly I need to do the reboots on a remote networks where there are no name services running (WINS or DNS) and the infrastructure does not allow for NetBIOS broadcasts back to here.
If I was to add the names to the hosts file, would that work? OR If I were to UNC the IP with \\10.10.10.10, would that help?

I don't think it is (I could be wrong). Why not try a name instead ? Also try $^E or Win32::GetLastError and see if you can get any further error indication, but I still suspect it's the IP address that isn't allowed. **************************************************************************** ********************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
