RE: Shutting down windows NT remotely (without winnt toolkit)?

In the autoexec.nt, maybe?

Also ... sysinternals.com ... you can run psshutdown on your machine and
*possibly* shutdown the remote box ... a la:
        Psshutdown -t 50 -m "YOUR SERVER IS INFECTED, CLEAN IT!" -f
\\InfectedServersIP
... <no -r should do a shutdown, with a -r it is a restart ... >


Thanks!
TJ

AFAIK the services still start after a reboot. So the trojaned box still
scans the whole internet. 


I don't for NT but a 'echo your box has a trojan' 'pause' in 
autoexec.bat would do the trick on a windows 95/98 machine..probably 
something similair is possible on NT?
