Use the shutdown command (only on W2k and XP machines)
 
You could use either "tsshutdn" or "shutdown" from the command line on the remote PC. Go to
"Start -> Help and Support" and search on both to get the proper syntax. In addition, the user can
do a "Ctl - Alt - End" key sequence in the Remote Desktop area and bring up the remote PC "Task
Manager". Then go to "Shutdown" and select either "Turn Off" or "Restart".

Additionally, as David Jones noted on 10 December 2002...

Alternatively, if the users need it on the Start Menu, just create a shortcut with the proper syntax
for tsshutdn or shutdown and pin it to the start menu.

There's also a "Windows Security" icon on the Start Menu when connected via RD (at least on SP1)
that launches Task Manager on non-domain joined machines and the
traditional security screen allowing password changes/shutdown/task manager/etc on domain-joined
machines.
 
Hello,

If you are still looking for help shutting down windows
via Remote Desktop I can help. From the desktop, Right
click on the task bar and left click Task Manager.
From the top of the window that appears, click "Shutdown"
and select the shutdown option you wish to use.

See if that helps...
