Does anybody knows if it is possible to shut down a remote computer just by using the command line?
I do not want to log me onto the remote computer and then shut it down, but create a shortcut on my desktop to shut down the other computer.

You can also just go to a command line and provided you have administrator priviledges on that computer type somthing in like:
shutdown -r -t 05 -m\\computername
This would restart the computer "computername" in 5 seconds. This requires no additional software. Type "shutdown /?" for more options.
shutdown -r -t 05 -m\\computername
This would restart the computer "computername" in 5 seconds. This requires no additional software. Type "shutdown /?" for more options.
This space not for rent.

Thank you for the replies.
The 'shutdown' command is not an option for me because it is not possible to change the user. But I resolved my problem with the PsTools.
There is just a little security issue in Windows XP. The 'Network Access' is configured as 'Guest only' (default value in XP). But if you change this to 'Classic - local users authenticate as themselves' the remote shutdown works perfectly!!
