You could try using the local system account with psexec. psexec -s -c \\computername psshutdown -l (run from within the current directory where psshutdown.exe is so psexec can find it to copy to the remote system)

The tool fails to lock or shutdown the target computer. If I log into the target computer with an account that has local admin rights the tool works. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 11:44 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: PSShutdown > > Question using the above tool to remote lock or shutdown a computer. > The logged in users has to be a local admin?
