I am in a remote desktop session and can not reboot the client machine.
I have tried disabling a start up item in the system configuration utility
and accepting restart but nothing happens.
also i have ran windows & office updates with both needing a restart to
fully update the PC but after accepting to restart the PC nothing happens.
Anyone seen this before?

Click to expand...
From a command prompt window on the Remote Desktop Session, run the
command:

shutdown /?

This will present all the options available to you.

The one you desire is shutdown -r

There may be some additional command line options appropriate for your
needs.

Click to expand...

CTRL+ALT+END with the remote machine full screened...
Start button --> RUN --> shutdown -i to bring up the shutdown interactive
window...
Have full network control over the machine? shutdown -? or get psshutdown
from SysInternals to remotely reboot...
