Remote Server Shutdown

If Ion goes down or is very unresponsive (ie. can’t log in using terminal services.), then log into Gargantuplex.

Click on “Remote Shutdown.exe” shortcut located on the desktop.

It is also located directly in the Windows Resource Kit folder:

“C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\shutdown.exe”

A window will pop up asking you for the name of the server on the network to shut down.

ENSURE you check of on “Restart” or it will just shutdown.
