Remotely restarting my 'stuck' server

Saturday afternoon, found some alerts.. Yikes! one of the server refuses to replicate backup across the WAN!

Started my mRemoteNG and tried connecting... found out my dear server is 'stuck' with a blank console with no icons and no way to restart 'explorer.exe'.

Solution?
  1. Used my virtual machine to VPN into the network using PPTP VPN (already set-up of course). I had to use my virtual machine as I am downloading couple of stuff and I'd hate to get it interrupted. :)
  2. Go to start >> Run >> \\(server name)
  3. Key in administrator's username and password, once you can get access to the server shared folders, you may then close the screen.
  4. Run command prompt, and type the following command: shutdown -f -r -m \\(server name)
  5. Note: If VPN doesn't allow access to the server via Computer Name, use the IP address. It'll work.
The screen will look like this below:





The first error, access is denied, happened because I haven't yet log-in to the server.
The second one initiated the shutdown-restart all-right. 
That worked! I can now login to the server back-to-normal using my mRemoteNG!

Randomizing and Reset TeamViewer ID

* do not do this to infringe copyrights for usage of teamviewer!*

While trying to use teamviewer for home, sometimes i came across the alert stating that teamviewer suspects usage of teamviewer in corporate environment. Eventually, you'll not be able to use Teamviewer anymore!

A work-around would be to do 3 things:
  1. Delete teamviewer files
  2. Delete teamviewer registry keys
  3. Randomize your MAC address
  4. Rerun teamviewer
I have created the necessary tools to allow the reset here:
