remote boot locked server

[jleblond]

I've been trying to use the MS tool shutdown.exe to reboot a remote server. Works fine from command line, but when I put it in a cfexecute it does not. Blow is the cfexecute code and the results from the output file.

Any suggestions?

<CFSET thisDirectory= GetDirectoryFromPath(thisPath)>
<cfexecute name="c:\cfusion\shutdown.exe" arguments="\\MyOtherServer /t:5 /r /c" outputfile = "#thisdirectory#output.txt"/>

Must run Cold Fusion under account with sufficient privileges.

OK - I changed the CF service to run as an admin user - that worked. THANK YOU

What (if any) is the downside to running CF as an admin user rather than as local system?

All ColdFusion code and process will run with full admin rights and
privileges, passing this on to the users of these CF applications.

It is a better practice to create a CF user with just the rights it
needs to run the applications being built on that server. That is what
we do here.

Agreed. Assume that you've got a hole, bug, etc., so your error or somebody's intentional action could be very damaging, since you gave to CF rights to do anything...
