In the end I used the pskill command to stop the winlogon service on the remote server to try and release whichever process wass causing the server to hang on shutdown. This basically meant that a system shutdown was already in progress, and therefore the command was unable to force a reboot. Psexec \\REMOTE_SERVER_NAME shutdown /r /t 01 Next I tried to force a reboot of the remote server using psexec and the shutdown command as follows, where REMOTE_SERVER_NAME is the name of the remote server that I was trying to reboot: I used the PSTools command psexec to see if I could still get command line access to the remote server, and fortunately I could. I was cursing at this point, with the prospect of a long journey the following day to investigate and bring the server back online. I then considered what other steps I could take to try and force the server to reboot remotely.
I will still able to ping the server, and access its file shares, but was unable to get RDP access. I had an issue last night when a remote server that I was applying windows updates to, hung while it was shutting down.
