A lot of newer "high-end" Dell computers (T5400 and T5500 specifically) have a feature called AMT (that we don't use for some reason.). I've been able to use Sysinternal's PsExec sometimes to get a remote command prompt and issue a shutdown -r -t -0 command which reboots it.Īt my place of work, we are a Dell shop. I've had users say their systems are frozen, but the system is just "stuck" at some point and they can still move the mouse. A "hard freeze" where even the mouse stops working has a high percentage of defective hardware as the cause and needs to be physically looked at when that occurs.

You can then check eventvwr.msc or use a utility like NirSoft's BlueScreenView to later determine the STOP code and find why it crashed. Machines that depend on remote access for configuration/support need to have this enabled. There's an option in sysdm.cpl -> Advanced tab -> Startup and Recovery section (settings) -> called "Automatically restart" that will automatically restart the machine upon a blue screen. You can hit it by HTTP and reset the sockets manually (individually), as well as have it auto-reset due to lack of Internet connectivity, schedules and such.ģ) Build an Interent-enabled robotic arm. It is aimed mainly for auto-rebooting a router/modem combo (we use them mainly for that), but it shouldn't have a problem dealing with a desktop computer as a load. It was feature rich, but I've never actually used it.Īnother option is Technology On Demand's recent iRemoteReset product:
I looked into this, and it was too expensive for small-time use. The newest versions include a VNC-based "KVM" that allows you interact with the boot process as well as the OS, so it can be used to diagnose boot problems (BIOS, POST, Bluescreens, etc.) as well as end-user and OS support.Īs echoback mentioned, there's products by DLI (Digital Loggers Inc.): All versions (that are 'vPro') allow shutdown, power-on, reset (hard), as well as a textual BIOS and boot view.
I've never used it, and haven't seen any 3rd party support for it. (Basically a vPro-compatible board and CPU).ĪMD has DASH with similar requirements I'm sure. Intel offers their AMT (Advanced Management Technologies) on the desktop as well, which when adhering to the certain requirement is branded as vPro. Watchdog timers in the BIOS, COM-based Telnet console redirect, IP based COM, remote KVM, etc.įor a desktop-grade computer you have a few options:ġ) Replace your system with one that has these types of management features (out-of-band management). But no worry, as mentioned the Alt+ F4 method still works, and I use that exclusively now (I remote in for work every day, and also manage multiple machines at home).Server-grade computers by most major manufacturers have provided these types of management capabilities for many years.

I also can't find a Windows Security option in the Start Menu. You can't Restart or Shutdown from there.

Update: as noted in the comments, Ctrl+ Alt+ End in Windows 10 only gives you the option to Disconnect. from the little red power button icon in the lower right corner.Īlternatively, you can click once on the Desktop (or the Taskbar) of the remote computer, then press Alt+ F4 and you get the old-fashioned pop-up with all the shutdown options in the drop down. From there, as Marcus said, you can get to Restart, Shutdown, etc. This effectively sends a Ctrl+ Alt+ Del to the remote computer (so it's handy to know for other occasions/uses too).

You do have to be in full screen and/or have the RDP session set to Apply Windows key combinations on the remote computer. The answer Marcus Adams gave also has a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+ Alt+ End.
