Is there a way to remotely enable file and print sharing on a remote computer? These are Windows 2000 workstations. I need the ability to remotely reboot the computers which I can through shutdown.exe but file and print sharing must be enabled. But currently our Win2k images have this disabled.

Hi
1-You need PsExec freeware which executes programs remotely.

2- Use the command "Control.exe NETCPL.CPL,@1,1" with PsExec (no qutation plz)

when you run the command "Control.exe NETCPL.CPL,@1,1" get the network properties then from there configure or ad the service you want.

Good luck

Mohamed
