Windows 8 : how to enable "net rpc shutdown"
I'm a student and have a few servers/clients at home. One of those computers is running on Windows 8. On this network, I have an embedded system on Debian that I use for VPN and SMB purposes. I has already scripts that do some wakeOnLan.
I've found recently that I can shutdown computers with Samba, using the command net rpc shutdown
.
However, when I do it, i get an error:
could not initialise pipe \winreg. Error was NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
I've found here that a local user was, by default, not allowed to perform a shutdown remotely.
I've searched into the register the key to edit, but I couldn't find it. It's at another place.
So, do you know how I can enable this "shutdown on LAN"?
Missing \winreg
might mean that the RemoteRegistry
service is not running; try using the following commands in Windows:
sc config RemoteRegistry start= auto
sc start RemoteRegistry
