Just an interesting story,

I once had a Ricoh copier that I was trying to setup to send scanned documents 
to a share...  The way the share was specified was a machine name, share name, 
and folder name (folder within the share).  If I remember correctly, if you put 
a full sharename\folder address in the share section (minus the \\machine part) 
instead of just the share name, it would reboot the workstation.  I know it 
wasn't just a blue screen, as I had auto-reboot turned off and would have seen 
it when I got back to the workstation.. nothing in the event logs either, just 
POOF and it reboots.

I was in a hurry and eventually figured out my error and got it working 
properly, but never actually investigated as to how it rebooted the 
workstation....

OK, so nmap against ports 1433 and 1434 and then grab your metasploit or 
  head over here:

Alternatively, give the list the box's ip address and an offer of
$(datacentre_charge_per_hour-1) for the 1st successful reboot ;-)
