Remote shutdown of a win2K pro machine

[Guest]

Is it possible to remotely shutdown a machine running win2K pro using any
facilites in win2k pro rather than using PSShutdown from sysinternals.

If you need to connect with explicit user credentials, use
SWbemLocator.ConnectServer instead of GetObject("winmgmts:...")

IWbemLocator::ConnectServer

If you have admin rights, you can use compmgmt.msc (Computer Management).
Right-click the computer Management tree-top and select "Connect to another
computer". Type in the name of the remote system and click OK. Then once
again right-click the computer Management tree-top and select "Properties".
Then select the "Advanced" tab, and click on "Startup and Recovery" settings
button, and hey presto, a shutdown button appears.

HTH,
