Hi,

I have a server at a remote location which is fairly unresponsive. It responds to ping but not much else. I need to restart the server but a psshutdown has done very little.

I have tried a number of tools but I get RPC Server Unavailable or WMI service unavailable.

Are there any tools out there that can reboot the server without the use of RPC or WMI?

We have had a numbe of domain controllers falling over of late due to running out of memory and I believe this could be down to a number of agents we rolled out and a memory leak. Is there a remote processor tool out there I can use to view this? I have tried a few but agan they tend to use RPC and WMI.

Your help with this is much appreciated.

If they're HP you could ILO in, or use Dell IDRAC, or cisco CIMC to power cycle it if necessary.

It does have an Idrac that I have the IP for but the password has long gone.

I have been tryin to reset it with RACADM but not sure how!

They can probably help you over here with IDRAC setup.
