How (is) it possible to re-boot a Vista PC remotely whilst connected via Remote Desktop. On Win XP I used to Ctrl + Alt + End, but it doesn't give me the option on Vista. Can it be done?
Also is it possible (it wasn't on Win XP), to re-log on the user automically after you disconnect a session of Remote Desktop?
Thanks

Have you tried using the shutdown command? Type shutdown /? at a command prompt for help.

I haven't to be honest, is that the only way it can be done?

Not sure, but that's the first option that popped into my head, perhaps a Google search will uncover other options.

Can't you just click on Start, then select Shutdown?

When you connect via RD you can only log-off. As I detailed above under Win XP you could Ctrl + Alt + End, that brings up Task Manager and you selected "restart"

Aah a Google reveals the following:-
Still nothing on auto logging back in the original user (without rebooting of course)
If you are using Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a Vista workstation, you will find that the options to Shutdown, Restart and Sleep are missing from the Start Menu. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get it back into the menu. You can, however, still activate the function easily via the following ways:
1) Run the command shutdown.exe on the command line. Note that the program supports only shutdown (-s) and restart (-r); it doesn't do stand-by or hibernate. Also, it requires you to have administrator privileges. If you are a limited user with shutdown privileges, the shutdown.exe program will complain.
2) Use the Ctrl+Alt+End hotkey (It's the Remote Desktop version of Ctrl +Alt+Del). This will bring up the full screen menu. Click on the red button near the bottom right and you will get the options to Shutdown, Restart and Sleep!

To get help with a problem make a new post of your own, asking a non related question in someone else's post is called hijacking and is frowned upon. When you post you don't need to ask if we can help, that is the purpose of this forum. Read other posts to determine how to post, read the links in my signature, use a descriptive subject and provide as much info as possible about the problem.
