If you ever have to connect to a windows machine over remote desktop and have to shut it down; it might not be straight forward to shutdown / restart the remote machine.
Here is a simple work around that I could find. Please note that the remote desktop program by design disables the shutdown option when connected.
"Shutdown" is the utility and can be invoked from command prompt. If you have access to command prompt - run the following command and you should see a dialoguebox displaying countdown to shutdown.
C:\>shutdown -s
please note that if you don't pass any arguments; the command will list all available parameters that "shutdown" utility can take as arguments.
Following command will restart the machine.
C:\>shutdown -r
Hope this helps...
