I would like to be able to shutdown or restart a computer on a remote network. If it were on my local area network, I would use the shutdown -i command. How can I do this remotely? I cannot use Remote Desktop Connection. The network has a static IP address.

To shutdown remote machine

shutdown -s -f -m \\remotecomputername

To restart remote machine

shutdown -r -f -m \\remotecomputername

If you make this mistake you have 30 seconds to cancel the Windows shutdown with the -a switch.

-a Is for abort. This it only works during the time-out period

shutdown -a
