Remote shutdown allows IT admins to turn off client PCs (like Windows 10/11) instantly across the network without leaving your desk! Follow steps below with video tutorial in Khmer! Let's get started!

Step 1: Enable WinRM & Remote Permissions on Client PC

  1. On client PC (Windows 10/11), open Command Prompt (cmd) as Administrator.
  2. Enable Remote Management: type winrm quickconfig > press Enter > type Y to confirm.
  3. Grant permissions: type net localgroup Administrators "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /add > press Enter.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Running winrm quickconfig automatically configures Windows Firewall rules to allow remote management commands!

Step 2: Run Remote Shutdown Command from Server

  1. Open Command Prompt (cmd) as Administrator on Windows Server 2012 R2.
  2. Run remote shutdown command: shutdown /s /m \\Client-PC-Name /t 60 /c "Server maintenance in 1 minute. Please save your work!" (Replace Client-PC-Name with target computer name, e.g. PC01)
  3. Press Enter! Client PC displays warning message popup and turns off after 60 seconds!

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Use /r instead of /s to restart remote PC! If you want to cancel pending remote shutdown, run shutdown /a /m \\Client-PC-Name!
