I have VPN access to a different network and I'm able to connect to it just fine. However, I need to reboot one PC on this VPN-connected data network.
I had a TeamViewer Host Session established, but it's not allowing me to connect and Remote Desktop won't connect either. So, I'm unable to remotely access the PC, and I can't reboot it since I'm not onsite—that's a 3 hour drive.
Is there a way I can send a reboot command to that PC?
1If this might be a situation that may regularly repeat, here are some techniques. For some of these, first, determine the security considerations of setting this up. A) Use more than TeamViewer. Install multiple remote access techniques. B) Find out who can remotely reboot, or power cycle, the device. C) Use a UPS that allows a remote HTTPS/HTTP/Telnet/etc. connection. Then the UPS can signal the computer, which may shutdown/restart due to a signal coming from the UPS (if the system has drivers). Or UPS can power off. May need not-cheapest UPS; but still be cheaper than 3hr trips. – TOOGAM – 2016-02-12T01:25:12.060
