The answer is rather simple really. I upgraded samba from 2.7 to 3.x to get the "net" command. Next, incorporate into my site shutdown script this to be sent from each linux box to its' pc(s): net rpc shutdown -s -I xx.xx.xx.xx -U<username>%<passwd> -f -t5 Might be useful to somebody out...

Well, either this is a slow forum or the question was challenging (I doubt it). Anyway, the answer is rather simple really. I upgraded samba from 2.7 to 3.x. Next, incorporate into my site shutdown script this to be sent from each linux box to its' pc(s): net rpc shutdown -s -I xx.xx.xx.xx...

Of course, I am open to a non-samba solution if one comes my way. Tony

I have a network of about 100 redhat 9 boxes. Each one has at least 1 WinXP box connected via an additional NIC. I can remotely shutdown/reboot the linux boxes from a linux server but I would like to be able to remotely shutdown/reboot the PC connected to each Redhat box as well. I read...

Right you are, now why didn't I think of that :)

I have the same problem on a similar system but when I go to My Computer > Manage > Removable Storage > Physical Locations > Exabyte VXA-2 SCSI Tape Drive > Media, I do not have my media in the Details pane to &quot;Prepare&quot;. If I go to ...Physical Locations > Exabyte VXA-2 SCSI Tape Drive...

Thanks for the reply thedaver. Unfortunately the power-down doesn't happen at exactly the same time every night and if it were to power down out of sequence of other items (one of which is the power generator!) there could be bigger problems. I hope to come up with a script that I can execute as...

Hello all; I have a several dozen redhat 9 boxes running on Dell 650's that must be powered down nightly. I would like a script that when executed will shutdown all the boxes in the domain rather than rlogging into each one to execute a shutdown. Any advice/tips/scripts would be greatly...

Have you tried 'convert c: /fs:ntfs /v' to go into verbose mode? If you attempt to convert your boot partition you should receive the message: Convert cannot gain exclusive access to the C: drive so it cannot convert it now. Would you like to schedule it to be converted the next time the system...

Yes, sort of but the answer is not what you what to hear. It just started working! My guess is that because the browser election is such a time consuming and mystical process, I had to wait until the machine that WAS Master Browser and giving me problems lost it's master browser duties most...

I have them all to include EZCD on my XP Pro box and they all work fine...some better than others. Make sure you did NOT install DirectCD along with the package. If you did, uninstall DirectCD, it reaks havoc with XP Tony

Thanks for the replies... I can ping and map network drives using netbios names, e.g., ping Wkstn9 or net send Wkstn9 Hello. I do not have to use IP address. All workstations have mapped network drives using netbios names and automatically connect on startup. This still works as advertised. I...

Are we all stumped? Nah, too many smart people here. Did I not articulate my problem well enough? Could be. Am I trying to keep this post on the first page because this problem is rather important to me? Definitely! Do I appreciate those who have already taken the time to respond? Absolutly!! Tony

It's not exactly that I cannot browse a particular PC rather I cannot browse my workgroup...at all! I have a box which is a Norton Anti-virus server. When I add a new client, I have to browse to identify it. That's when I discovered the problem. As I mentioned, I can access any machine on the...

Thanks for the response GlennA; I can see the workgroup name but when I try to expand it I get the error I posted above. The entire drive is not shared but many folders are and they are accessible by the other users (clients). I can even map any folder I want but as soon as I try to browse I...

I have about 3 dozen workstations in a workgroup. Last week I found I was unable to browse the local network. All boxes are Win2k Pro except for 1 WinXP Pro machine. I can still access mapped network drives but when I try to browse the workgroup I get the following message: <workgroup name> is...

That has happened to me more than once and on more than one WinXP box. I remedied the problem each time by reinstalling the drivers for my sound card. Tony

That's exactly what I was looking for and it worked as advertised. You da man glegg! Many thanks! Tony
