Is there any way to remotely shut a standard windows box down from a linux system?
I have a few boxes i need to kick users from and shutdown (or reboot) every now and then. And its the only Windows boxes on the network. My system is a SuSE Linux, and i dont have win4lin, vmware or any other emulator running.
I hope i can accomplish the task without having to install it too.
any pointers/ideas.
None of my google searches gives me any clues unless i am on a winbox myself.

I was going to suggest the shutdown command, but then I realized you'd have to be able to telnet or ssh into the system. What about something like remote desktop?
