- Make sure you have an administrative rights on the remote machine and you can PING it.
- On your workstation - Click on Start > Run, Type shutdown -i
- select options to shutdown or restart
- Alternatively - Go to command prompt (start > run > cmd) on your workstation... and Type
shutdown -r -m \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address or computer name of the remote machine. -r option is for restart, don't use -r if want to just shut down the system.
