Hi,

I use RDP on some XP machines and use shutdown.exe via a batch file on the remote system to either reboot or shutdown the systems.

The problem i get some time is the action is halted by a dialog stating "other people are connected to this computer".

Is there a reg hack or some other option to bypass if it prompts me?

Thanks...

Shutdown has a /f option for force.

Right but even with /f used there are still times where the system will hang at that dialog. There are even times were i disconnect the RDP, then go to the remote system and logon and do a shutdown and with no RDP connection it still tells me that people may be connected. What i am trying to figure out is a way to bypass the check for existing connections.

Thanks...
