How restart remote computer by WMI

Hi Denis,



Two things:



1. The Win32_OperatingSystem method description says:

The calling process must have the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege.

So, you need to add the following line to your script before calling Locator.ConnectServer:

2. If the remote computer uses Windows Vista or 7, you need to obtain the Win32_OperatingSystem object in the following way:



If it uses Windows XP, you need to specify its Win32_OperatingSystem.Name property value in the Get method call, like this:



To learn this value, you can execute the following command line on the remote computer:

wmic os get Name
Note that you need to double the backslashes in this value when using it in the Get method call.





By the way, in TestComplete 8, it's just two lines of code using the built-in WMI.RestartComputer method:

WMI.ConnectToComputer(Server, 'Administrator', '1q2w3eQAZ');

WMI.RestartComputer;

Thanks a lot. Your first method is success. 




  Locator := Sys.OleObject ('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');

  Locator.Security_.Privileges.AddAsString('SeShutdownPrivilege');

  WmiService := Locator.ConnectServer (Server, 'root\cimv2', 'Administrator', '1q2w3eQAZ');

  NewJob := WmiService.Get('Win32_OperatingSystem.Name="Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter x64 Edition|C:\\WINDOWS|\\Device\\Harddisk0\\Partition1"');

  NewJob.Win32Shutdown('2');
