Can't access your computer physically but need to shut it down?

How to reboot from remote desktop:

I was looking for a way to shut off this computer without physically going down to my lab and press the shut off button. I tried Remote desktop but there's no option for me to reboot or shut it down.

Thanks to Wayne Kao, I am able to do so. check out the command below:

When you're connected to the remote machine, from the command-line ("cmd"), just do:

- "shutdown" to shutdown
- "shutdown -r" to reboot
- "shutdown -i" to get a GUI
- "shutdown -l" to logoff

Shut it down!!!
