Ok, this tutorial is designed to teach you how to remotely shutdown a Windows computer on a Local Area Network. I have not been able to test this on wireless and successfully do it, but it will work on computers connected to a LAN. Well here is how to do it.
1.Open Command Prompt on the computer you wish to shutdown from. Press Win + R and type in cmd or command. 2.Type in ipconfig on the computer you wish to shut down. If you know the IP address of the computer you wish to shutdown go to Step 4. 3.Get the IP address from the computer. 4.Go to the computer you wish to shutdown from. 5.Type in the following command. CONSOLE shutdown -m \\IP HERE -t TIME IN SECONDS HERE -c MESSAGE HERE -s If you see a box on the computer you wish to shutdown you did it successfully. To abort simply type in: CONSOLE shutdown -m \\IP HERE -a Congrats on remotely shutting down your computer. |

Yes. I have actually tested this. This is actually can be used to exploit a security hole in my school system's network. They obviously didn't know how easy it would be to get all the computer names and use this command.

Sorry, I have only successfully shutdown local computers. I think it won't let you do it through the Internet, because that would be a huge security hole.

If you dont know the ip address of a computer and are on a windows network, you can also use the Computer Management console. To do this you will need to be an administrator on the network / computer. To get there, go to programs, administrative tools and right click on management console. Select run as and enter the credentials of the administrator. If you look on the left side of the management console, it will say local computer. Just right click on that and select "connect to another computer". Enter the computer name or ip address and it will bring it up in the console. This will allow you to start, stop and restart services as well as restart and shutdown computers remotely. They have numerous options about restarting remotely as in only restart if the computer is idle, etc.
