I can logoff but I don't know how to restart a remote workstation that I am
accessing using remote desktop. How do I do this.

Run Task Manager and use the Shutdown menu.
 
In addition to the methods already described by others, you can goto Start,
Windows Security

This will either bring up the Task Manager (if the Welcome screen is
enabled) or the Windows Security dialog (if the Welcome screen is not in
use). From there you can Shutdown/Restart/etc your system.

To reboot from the start menu, click "run" then type "shutdown /r" (r is
for restart). In fact, open a command prompt and type "shutdown /?" for
a list of options. I use "shutdown /r /f" all the time...

Thank you, the whole point is that I am remoting into the computer and cannot
press ctrl+alt+del.

What is the run command to bring up task manager

Thank you.
 
Use <Ctrl><Alt><End> while in the Remote Desktop session and hovering over
the remote desktop to bring up the task manager...

See the Resource Kit for other keyboard shortcuts...

Create 2 Icons on the remote system desktop, one for shutdown:

Command line: shutdown /s /f /t 5

And one for Reboot:

Command line: shutdown /r /f /t 5
