When using RDP, sometimes the session may lock up and you may need to reboot your workstation remotely. This can be done using the “shutdown.exe” command from your local PC. First, make sure you can still ping your remote workstation from your local PC: if you can’t ping it – you can’t reboot it remotely. The following two commands will send your login credentials to the authentication server and initiate a reboot sequence on your remote workstation.
In the example below, the IP of your remote workstation is “192.168.200.21″ and your Windows username is “US\smithj”:
net use \\192.168.200.21 /u:US\smithjAt this point your should be prompted for your password. Once you are logged in, you can reboot your workstation:
shutdown -r -m \\192.168.200.21
