Windows support

[fralik]

Let's see if we can support Windows computers for shutdown/reboot. It seems that on Linux-based systems Samba knows how to talk to Windows, i.e. net rpc shutdown -I ip.address -U user%password.

I found MS-RSP (remote shutdown protocol) protocol, which describes shutdown commands. It's interface UUID (338CD001-2244-31F1-AAAA-900038001003) is the same as MS-RRP (Windows remote registry protocol).

GitHub has Windows 2000 source code. One may have a look at the code of shutdown.c.

Interesting links, phrases, e.t.c.:

• InitiateSystemShutdown, BaseInitiateShutdown, WsdrInitiateShutdown.
• Calling RPC functions over SMB
• Windows shutdown command.
• Samba source code, net_rpc.c function rpc_init_shutdown_internals.
• List of MS protocols.
