Going out on a limb but I know when I'm in this situation, I'll try just
about anything to talk to a server I can "see" (bearing in mind the
time/cost). What about running nmap against the system to see if port
135 (RPC) or any others are, in fact open? Anyone have a copy of
Blaster for David :-)

Subject: Re: Remote server won't allow management
Thanks to Mark R. once again:
psexec \\computername -i "shutdown -r -t 1"
or if you *really* want to shut down no matter what:
pskill -t \\computername svchost.exe
which will kill most instances of the generic host process and
consequently restart the machine. But as James pointed out, the
integrity of the RPC channel must be intact.
I have experienced the frustration of being able to ping a system but
not being able to communicate in any other way else. This idea would
be useful if one could implement it in Windows:

If it won’t take a remote shutdown command (from the ResKit), then it
is probably out of reach. Most stuff relies on some form of RPC
communication. I sometimes use pskill to kill the winlogon process
which generally makes it bluescreen, but this may not work either in
diagnostic mode

Take it it doesn’t have a DRAC/RIB/ILO installed?

I have a remote server I would like to get into but is was last
restarted in Diag mode from MSCONFIG.
There is no one at the remote site. Is there a way to get it unstuck?
I can ping it but that is all.
