rayjin Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 i've always used the GUI version using "shutdown -i" as in your title. I then click on ADD then type in either the IP address or computername eg. \\192.168.0.5 or \\home click OK, then enter # of seeconds before shutdown and enter a message then OK. A pop up window will then appear on the other computer confirming the shutdown process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
