Shutting down or restarting a remote computer

Windows includes shutdown.exe, a small utility to shut down or restart a Windows-based computer that is located on your local network.

First, you must configure the computers running Windows that you want to shut down or restart remotely to accept a remote connection from your local network. This is done by enabling the Remote Registry service and then by passing the built-in firewall to Windows.

Once done, a simple command will allow you to shut down or restart a computer on your local network directly from your Windows computer.
