Shutdown of remote machine failed

result was: WERR_ACCESS_DENIED




I got this far as well, then, I tried changing name of user

I then rebooted the XP machine and got the same result.
For me this would be great to get working I could set a cron
job on my Linux server to shutdown my 40 lab computers at the
end of the day
