[Samba] Shuting down Windows from linux

[Nuno Gonçalves]

I'm trying to shutdown a Windows XP machine from Ubuntu.




nuno at sky9:~$ net rpc shutdown -U "Miguel" -I 192.168.1.66
Enter Miguel's password:

Shutdown of remote machine succeeded
nuno at sky9:~$ rpcclient -U Miguel -I 192.168.1.66 -c REG shutdownEnter
Miguel's password:
failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME
Cannot connect to server.  Error was NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME




Both of this commands fail. When I check windows logs, they look as if
a "Guest" tried to shutdown the computer. Because of this, if I set
the remote shutdown permissions to "Everyone" it works.
So the issue is: Why isn't it being logger in as "Miguel"?

Trying Terminal Server Client to 192.168.1.66 and User Miguel connects
easily to the windows machine. So the account and password is correct.
