Hi Michael, You can also use the api function 'InitiateSystemShutdown(Ex)': http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/initiatesystemshutdown.asp I even think that the shutdown command is based on this api function. I used it in the past and it does the trick very well ;-) Make sure that you read the documentation, because you will need to enable privileges, if your remote system doesn't shut down it's probably because of the privileges...
