reboot remote desktop

[dbarton]

Is there a quick little program or command I can use with Remote Desktop to restart a remote computer?

I can call up the task manager and do it that way, but it's a bit slow that way..

You could use WMI...

Glad you found it useful. I'm still figuring out what the right syntax is for accessing servers in another domain using WMI with a local account on the remote server.

Isn't there command prompt way of acessing the task manaar program to tell it to restart?

InstallingI on all machines seems likeoverkill.

Actually I now see that "shutdown -r" from a command prompt will do what I want, so a batch file makes it easy..
