How to Remotely Reboot Windows 10?

Question

System administration

Essence of the question:
I worked on RDP on a remote PC, I needed to reboot it. I rebooted it, but something went wrong. Now this PC is pinging, but I can not connect via RDP - the connection is immediately reset. It turned out a kind of Schrödinger's PC.
I tried to send him runas /user:Administrator "shutdown -r -f -t 0 -m \\remotepc" - does not respond.
Is there any way to reset it remotely? The computer is far away.

Answer 1

No way.
For the future, google about IPMI.

Answer 2

Dial the phone and ask to press the button

Answer 3

If the reboot didn’t help, how will the next one help - solve the problem
For the future - ip kvm, a universal solution, as it will allow you to see the image and press buttons over the network (by the way, the question about the shutdown button, I have not seen ready-made solutions)
ps homemade products based on raspberries, it is possible to start a reset through the relay to the pins.

Answer 4

Very often in such situations, pskill from Russinovich helped me, because most often two services hang during reboot, and you can try to kill them remotely:
pskill \\remotepc winlogon -t
pskill \\remotepc TrustedInstaller -t
Wait a bit and the computer should reboot - if it If it doesn't help, then nothing will help except physical contact. And for the future, if you need to reboot the computer and there is a chance that it will not turn on, then it is better to reboot forcibly with the shutdown /r /t 0 /f command , and not with the button.

Answer 5

1. WinRM
2. psexec from Russinovich's set of utilities.
