How do I shutdown cmd gui of remote desktop?

Hi,

So your question is how to shut down another / network PC using the command prompt. Just follow these steps to do that, first go to Start, type “run” then type “cmd” after that type “shutdown –m \computer name” or type “shutdown -i” note: this process only works in an admin type network. Hope this works for you.

1. GOTO Start > Run then type cmd.

2. Type the following commands for its corresponding functions.

shutdown -f        Shutdown
shutdown -r -f    Reboot

There's a lot of other ways to shutdown your remote desktop you can use ALT+F4 to view the GUI and Task Manager. Hope this helps.
