It depends on the machine.  Shutdown will physically shut down some 
machines, if they allow for software shutdowns.  The machine might be 
configured to allow (or disallow) shutdowns.  Or, the machine may 
physically be incapable of a software shutdown (like if it has a positional 
power switch).

Not sure if Win2000 allows for it or not, but basically, if you can do it 
through software, Shutdown should work.  If you can't (or aren't allowed) 
then you just can't.
