Shutdown problem

Hi everybody
I want to shutdown my computer with my program.
I searched in MSDN to find a .NET method that can do that but did'nt find
anything but ExitWindowsEx Api.
I write following codes to execute this api but every time i use it, I see
an error message.
Error:1314 " A required privilege is not held by the client. ".
Please tell me what did I wrong.
Thanks in advance.

long in .NET is 64 bit, so, all long's in this part of the code should be
int's!

struct LUID
{
public long LowPart;
public long HighPart;
}

struct TOKEN_PRIVILEGE S
{
public int PrivilegeCount;
public LUID_AND_ATTRIB UTES Privileges;
}

struct LUID_AND_ATTRIB UTES
{
public LUID Luid;
public long Attributes;
}

You can also use WMI to do that using the Win32Shutdown
method of the Win32_Operating System class. You need to have WMI installed
on the machine running your application though. It's built-in under Windows
ME, 2000 and above but needs to be installed separately under Windows 98
and NT 4.
I write following codes to execute this api but every time i use it, I see
an error message.
Error:1314 " A required privilege is not held by the client. ".

You can also use the WindowsControll er library that already contains all
the needed interop declaration if you want to be sure that you have made no
mistakes in your code:
http://www.mentalis.org/soft/class.qpx?id=7

If you still get this error using this library, then your application may
not have the rights to shutdown your computer. Others may be more
knowledgeable than me to find a solution for this privilege problem.

Hey,

This could be a solution to your problem
(If you don't use Windows XP, you might have to look for this)
ControlPanel->Administrati ve tools->Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Wizards
Just play with it...
There was an example from Microsoft website
showing how .NET security works:
You have a simple application that creates
a text file on your C: drive.
When you compile and run the program locally,
it works just fine.
Now, put it on any website, download and run,
there is a security exception.

Your program for some reason might not have enough
priveleges to shutdown your PC

Just play with "Trust an assembly"
Choose your program and set the appropriate permissions...

I hope this helps.
Good luck.

Ok, so here is the problem. I'm working on a headless server program implemented as a .NET C# Console project. There is a UPS mounted to this server (though not a windows compliant UPS).
