I am making a program that takes a time input from the user or a countdown amount and when that time comes it will shutdown or restart or log off the computer. I know how to make the timing code and everything else but i don't know how to shutdown or restart or log off.
I'm trying to create a way for the User of my application to Log Off, Shutdown, or Restart the PC.
The idea is that User can more quickly access these options from my application and if they choose, force these actions instead of waiting for the OS to respond.
Here's how I'm trying to do it:
CODE:
Log Off works just fine. It's shutdown and restart that doesn't work. From the research that I've done, the Consts seem fine and the function obviously works correctly because Log Off works. I am running the application as an administrator, so that should affect it.

I want to detect when employees in our company are shutting down or restarting their computers. Is there a Windows API Call that will do that which I can hook onto? I found WindowsExitEX but it actually restarts the computer!
What i wish to find is a message or the like that I can use to detect between specific 'shutdown' like events, ie: I wish to be able to find the difference between a shutdown, restart, logoff and sleep initiation.
The problem i have found (as displayed below) is using oClosingEvent.CloseReason the return types provide no further information other then the WindowsShutDown constant (the others are obviously irrelevant in this case).
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing Dim oClosingEvent As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs
Is there any way to turn off a remote pc that's not by using shutdown /s /m \computer name etc...I just want to turn off the server computer at night from my laptop. Is it possible to make the program check for pings and then shutdown? Or is there an easier way? (Maybe if I'm not on the local network send over a "signal"(?) to the pc so that it'll shut down..?)
I was just wondering if there was a way to shutdown different computers that were on your network through writing a custom vb application.If so, what do I need to look into, such as certain objects and such.
1- Click run, and type the gpedit.msc, to start "Local Group Policy Editor". 2 -Expand "Computer Configuration" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Security Settings" -> "Local Policies" -> Then click "User Rights Assignment". 3- In the Policy window, Select "Force shutdown from a remote system", double click it, it will pop a properties window. 4- Click "Add user or group button", add a user and name it Guest.
I need to know if it's possible to manipulate and add the user or group programmatically. I'm using Visual Basic 2008.
