My Windows server is running OOM, this prevents me to remote desktop. How can I remotely reboot it? [closed]

Solution 1:

Hi and welcome to ServerFault.

The easiest way of rebooting your server would be to use its out-of-band management solution, whatever it might be - iDRAC, ILO, IPMI, or other kind of BMC.

Lacking that, and being unable to connect via RDP, I don't see a way of doing it remotely. I suggest getting there and using the physical console or, as ultima ratio, pulling the power cable.

Once you regain access, have a look at WinRM.

Furthermore, consider investing in actual server hardware and operating system.
