Windows now come with remote desktop features and users can simply remote from their computer to any of the windows if the remote desktop features was enabled. Due to some security of Windows, users have to provide the Active Directory users name and password only has permission to connect to the target server. Anyhow the most important is the local admin account, if anyone knows the local admin account and password then is easy for user to remote shutdown or reboots the Windows. To make it more easy for user to remote shutdown or reboot the Windows, user my try DShutdown.
DShutdown is the free and stand alone program that allows users to easily shutdown and wake up local or remote PCs, with many specific options. Users just have to run DShutdown on their computer and provide the name or the IP of the server or computer users plan to reboot or shutdown. Beside that, it also provides type of shutdown, general options and timer to allow users to select and apply on the selected computers.
With DShutdown users or local admin now can use it to remotely shutdown or reboot the computer easily without using the default features that come together with Windows. DShutdown now can run on Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows VISTA and the size of the program is around 200KB.
