Aside from security, another concern is that that list seems to be pretty dynamic with which servers are available. Managing 4 shortcuts for everyone with hardcoded links would be a nightmare to update.

I got it.

I ran a remote command to restart the PC and when it finally took the command and came back up the GUI was there....

Im confused as all hell.

yeah - I'm guessing it wasn't ever actually rebooted.

that's what Im guessing too because once it rebooted for me it came up. ..

If the screen was only black - how would the user know if it was rebooted or not - especially if they don't see the BIOS screen pop.

I guess I would have had them pull the power plug, if that didn't work, then I'd have pull ever cord, becuase it's likely they didn't actually pull the power cable.

This is the type of scenario that I considered when setting the power options in Windows... I always set the power button action to shut down, so a short button push gives a graceful shutdown.

Same here. Works the majority of the time.

I only use laptops, so I have the button hibernate, lid close sleep (if on battery), lid close do nothing if plugged in, and I manually shutdown if I need to do that.

I never let anything hibernate, it causes problems in my experience. In fact. one of the first commands I run on a fresh windows machine is

powercfg -hibernate off

It's never been an issue for me. I use it often.

I use hibernate for two desktops at home. I hibernate them all the time and wake them remotely (LAN or WAN), then hibernate them again when done.

I find hibernate is less problem causing than sleep. Sleep causes all sorts of random network issues. Especially, when you wake it on another network.

about 10 seconds on google gave me this.....

1. Setup 4 proxy servers to route traffic via the needed IP addresses.
2. Launch chrome in porn mode specifying the proxy and user folder.

# Proxy 1
%pathtochrome%\chrome.exe --incognito --proxy-server="http://proxy01.domain.local:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy01\User Data
# Proxy 2
%pathtochrome%\chrome.exe --incognito --proxy-server="http://proxy02.domain.local:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy02\User Data
# Proxy 3
%pathtochrome%\chrome.exe --incognito --proxy-server="http://proxy03.domain.local:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy03\User Data
# Proxy 4
%pathtochrome%\chrome.exe --incognito --proxy-server="http://proxy04.domain.local:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy04\User Data

This might work, but I would have to set up the proxies, externally, for contractors.

use open proxies on the internet, unless you want to/need to manage them yourself.

Something like this? https://www.proxynova.com/proxy-server-list/

@dbeato - No, each has their own logins. So [email protected], [email protected], etc. and all login to the same site.

@Dashrender I wish. This is a production scenario.

Other than the above stated requirements - can you tell us the goal?

The goal is to not have the website know that the users that are logging in are the exact same across each of the brands.
