How Do I Remotely Configure Windows 10 to Reboot After Blue Screen
I'm not totally sure I understand exactly what happened.
Did the remote computer restart? Can you ping it? If not you might try sending a Wake on Lan (WoL) packet using one of various tools though this can be problematic at a remote sites. If you can remote to another box on the same subnet you can fire a local WoL packet from it. You will need the MAC address (can pull from switch MAC address table maybe, or from Spiceworks or other inventory system). And of course the machine has to support WoL (at NIC and BIOS)
I'm assuming it rebooted if it blue screened?
If you can ping the machine (windows is still responding) you can force a shutdown of the machine by running a command prompt as administrator and running shutdown with the proper commands. Shutdown /i will display a GUI you can use to reboot the machine. Or you can use something like "shutdown /m \\remotepc /r /f /t 5" This will initiate a reboot remotepc in 5 seconds forcing any open programs to close.
Alternately you can use PSEXEC to run commands on the remote box if windows is responding.
If the device is hung and windows isn't responding there isn't much that could be done unless the box is on a UPS that is network accessible and you could power cycle the port.

I think it had too many resources to close when it was shutting down - it's a developer machine and I had connected to 4 servers because I was trying to do too many things at once. It's a VM that's on an RD network so me pinging it from my laptop is not going to work. So maybe after a sleepless night I will try to do something and I copy/pasted your suggestion to a notepad.
(Wo)man plans, guy up there laughs.
Thanks!

If I do cntrl+alt+del it's doing it to my laptop
Did you try ctrl + alt + end ?
If it's really at a BSOD, though, you probably can't do anything from the RDP connection. You'd need access to the host.

it was the first thing I tried and I almost ctrl+alt+end 'd my laptop which would have been funny but not to me. I did try to sign off a server when it signed off my machine though so something was amiss at the start.

Hold on... if it's a VM do you not have access to the hypervisor? What platform? Can't you just force a reset of the VM?

Yeah - I'm not a sysadmin. Just a developer. Wish I could. I did pass along your suggestion. And I'm making a list of what I need for a new VM. Because I doubt you can ping the VM at this point (4 days later it's still BSOD).
