Shutdown Servers

Okay so here is a quick run down of how to shutdown a remote server using CMD. Once you have CMD opened up and are connected to the server, type in the following;

SHUTDOWN /r /f /t 0 /m \\<ServerName> /c "<Description>"

You should also be able to use this if you are not connected to that server. It also depends upon the firewall of the server. Nine times out of ten, this little hack will work. Next time you are at your friends house playing games, get onto your computer and apply this trick and watch him/her freak out.
