Well, as I said in response to Jeff Cain's question, I was logged onto the Enterprise console machine as a domain admin and my domain admin user has full rights on the client PCs. Not sure why there would be "credentialing issues" in that case. J I'll try the shutdown command on my laptop to see if it works when Vipre doesn't.

That's an explanation. As to why it's not doing it, I'm curious, can you try a remote shutdown command and see if that does it? It is perhaps a credentialing issue.

I'll give that a shot next time, fwiw, but I'd like to know the answer to my question. J John-AldrichTile-Tools From: Michael B.

I've told several machines to automatically reboot and they have not done so. I have ended up either going to the machine in question and manually rebooting it or logging into the machine from remote and telling it to reboot that way.
