Re: Control Dual Boot Remotely

I'm running a dual boot (Windows XP Pro & Windows Server 2003) computer at
a remote location.

I normally use Remote Desktop to operate this computer and I shut it down
or reboot it using "shutdown" from the command line.

My question - is there a way to remotely reboot this computer into the
second operating system? The shutdown command does not seem to offer this
option.

TIA

Jim

The only way I can think of is to edit the boot.ini
file to change the default startup OS and then do a restart.
