Today we have a different question: can we turn off our remote equipment? And, if possible, how is it done? This is an interesting function if we have left on a trip and left the equipment unnecessarily consuming energy, or if we want to have it blocked against unwanted uses.Let's see how to carry it out.
RelatedFREE AND IMMEDIATE FUNCTIONS
Before continuing, a note: let's not forget that turning off the PC does not really mean disconnecting it from the power.It is a hybrid state, between the suspension and the total disconnection.
Windows has a quick boot that allows us to turn on the computer in less time-even, from the control functions in the lower right corner, "Turn on with fast boot", which is usually active by default.deactivate this option, since in some computers it causes erratic behaviors and problems in the remote ignition.
That said, we go with the remote shutdown from a LAN:
First of all we enable remote PC registration. We must be the 'Administrator'.That is, do not turn on the PC with a guest user account .To enable remote registration we go to the search bar of the start menu.We click on it and type 'services.msc', without quotes.Press Enter and from 'Colonla' we right click on 'Remote registration'.
Once here we select 'Start'.This will throw us a new window.If we do not have enough privileges, we can always click on the 'Team' icon and in the 'Properties' give local access privileges.
Once done, following the same route, from the properties, we go to `` Name, domain and workgroup configuration of the team ''.Here we will find the name used by the PC to connect to local networks.or the IP of the team-or both-, copy them on some paper to recognize your name.
Well, we already know the name of the equipment.Now we open the 'Command Interpreter', also with a right click.It is done by going back to 'Start' and 'Execute', to access the 'system symbol'.The command that we must enter is ' shutdown-m \ equipment_name '.The name of the equipment we already have, so we replace and enter that name in the command.The PC usually gives us a period of time to shut down , a 1 minute countdown.
There are other options, some simpler.Hobbyist Software, the parents of VLC Streamer and remote, also allows the remote shutdown of the PC by two simple steps.That is, we must not forget to check the Firewall.If the wall the system blocks the application, we will not be able to access remote to the system .
Another alternative is found from the command window 'Execute', typing 'shutdown-i' , without quotes.This will give us a box of options with the connected computers.In'Anadir 'we must put the IP address of the equipment we want to turn off and in the dialog box we register it as "automatic shutdown" .Obviously, these functions can always be carried out from a network from which we are authorized , such as our own or a reliable WiFi connection.
PREMIUM SERVICES
At the beginning of the article we cited Teamviewer.The reason is simple: this app has a payment method with which we can schedule tasks such as turning on and off the PC, restarting it or closing our session to protect our data from furtive looks .The different options are included from your online manual, although it is worth noting that some of these options can be made from the free version.
AND IN MAC?
Mac solutions can be organized both offline and online.From the offline perspective we can go to Automator, an app preinstalled in the current Mac computers with which we can associate some functions.
And if, between them, turn off or on the equipment at a certain time .Or coordinate which application will open the images, the preview design of the finder , details in the workflow and functions that we always carry out repetitively and by hand.
But if we want to vitamin that workflow with a more complete application, Remote Desktop allows us to do almost anything with our Mac -we can also opt for the Windows alternative, to control PC systems inside of a Mac system.
The application is not exactly cheap (89.99 euros) but instead allows us to control absolutely all the functions of the equipment or equipment connected to the same network.That is, download and install programs, update the system, automated functions such as schedule a shutdown, change the preferences of the finder, etc.
