Can I control(i.e. Shutdown or Restart etc.) another comp from my comp.?
 

Solution
Yes there are quite a few ways

  • Use the built-in shutdown.exe with the /m switch
  • Through the WMI Shutdown method on the Win32_OperatingSystem class
  • Through WMI method call via the Powershell cmdlet Invoke-WMIMethod
  • On Windows 10 you can just use the cmdlets Stop-Computer and Restart-Computer
  • You can use the sysinternal tool psshutdown
There are probably others or you could even create your own.
