Windows’ built-in Remote Shutdown function allows you to restart, shut down or log out of a networked computer, using either that computer’s network name or IP address to identify the machine. You must enable the Remote Registry function and open certain firewall ports on the receiving machine before you can use Remote Shutdown. In addition, you can only perform a remote restart on a machine that you have administrative user rights on. This acts as a security measure, helping to ensure that the function will not be used for malicious purposes. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
