Remote shutdown and reboot: Windows

Shutting down a computer remotely.  If you are not logged in to the terminal as an admin for the remote machine, open the command prompt and type (without the quotes):

“runas /U:UserNameGoesHere CMD” and enter the password when prompted. Then try the command from the newly presented CMD Box.

You can then run the remote shutdown command

shutdown /r /f /m \\COMPUTERNAME
