Re: Port requirements for remote shutdown using 'shutdown -s -m \\servername'



In group policy under the adm templates for networking you will find
the adm template for the firewall, and in there an exemption for "remote
management". If you enable this, and scope it down to only the needed
origin IPs, then you can use WMI and other for remote management
from those IPs. You should be able to find WMI based shutdown
scripts, if what you are trying is itself not enabled by this exception.

I am trying to figure out what ports need to be open in Windows Firewall
for the shutdown command to work. it would be helpful to have the ability
to remotely shutdown servers that dont have monitors or kvms.

If I disable Windows Firewall completely, the shutdown command works as
expected, but that is a less then optimal solution :-)
