Finding RDP machine after router flushed MAC IP table

They flushed the router tables again... where is my RDP machine.... Zenmap/nmap to the rescue... the only thing you need to know is the actual assigned windows name for your computer... and make sure your have it powered up... waiting for logon.. The nmap command would be something like this for scanning the 0-255 ip addresses on a 10.77.114.x

$ nmap -v -sn 10.77.114.1-255 -p 3389

Failed to resolve given hostname/IP: sn.  Note that you can't use '/mask' AND '1-4,7,100-' style IP ranges. If the machine only has an IPv6 address, add the Nmap -6 flag to scan that.

Reboot Windows From macosx RDP session

There is a lot of confusing key combinations out there but essentially this is my recipe on my MacOSX 10.6.x with RDP "Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac" by Microsoft v2.0.0.0

1. perform a show desktop which is really minimize all running applications on the Windows side in the RDP session.
2. click on the desktop of the Windows side in the RDP session and hit Fn-Option-Command-F4 and you will get presented with the Restart/Shutdown/Lock options on the windows machine

RDP reboot remote machine

If you've ever used the Remote Desktop Protocol to login to a remote Windows computer, you've probably noticed that the Start, Shutdown options you're used to seeing on a local Windows session aren't there. Instead, you'll typically see an option to "disconnect," in effect saving your session for the next time you login, or to "log off," essentially logging off of your remote session without saving the state.

So what do you do if you actually want to restart the remote machine? I did some digging tonight and found the answer kind of ambiguously buried in some disorganized information about Remote Desktop:

The trick is to click on the desktop and type Alt+F4. This will call up the shutdown dialog, where you get the usual shutdown options like "Shut down", "Shut down without installing updates", "Restart", "Stand by", and "Hibernate".
