Shutting down a PC remotely, on an internal network

[Guest]

I would like to know if it is possible to shut down a PC across a LAN from a Windows 2K Pro workstation. My account has full administrator rights and I would like to shut down another Windows 2K pro PC from my Workstation. there is nothing bad or untoward going on. he problem is that when I update our NT4 server with service packs etc. When a call is put out to ask people to log off, half of them don't bother, or if they are away from their P.C then no one else in their department will shut them down

Any help would be great
