Thanks Tomasz. But my problem is im using win 2k pro on my clinets machines.

Policu in my office. Another my clients pcs are PIII or PIV with lower
configurations only.

best reliable solution 2 solve this issue.

Shutdown.exe is included in Windows 2000 resources kit.
I'm not aware of any other tool from Microsoft which will allow You to
accomplish this task. This is official KB about this tool:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317371&sd=tech

SysInternals Tools are widely incorporated in windows environment -
maybe You should evaluate them with Your security team.

If not You can use native solution which is VBS script:
