Restart a remote computer running vista
How to restart a remote computer running win vista using remote desktop? In win xp, there used to be an option in taskmanager, but vista doesn't have it. I can restart from command prompt, but I want to know if its possible to do it from a GUI?

I think the shutdown gui is disabled by remote desktop, not vista. Shutdown is missing on my w2003 server when in remote desktop, I just use the command line. You could always make a shutdown shortcut.

I usually use VNC instead, which doesn't disable the shutdown from the start button.

You can restart remote machines using WMI in quite a few scripting / programming languages... here is the one I use in Python:

Code:
import wmi

other_machine = 'machinename' # Name of remote machine
c = wmi.WMI (computer=other_machine, privileges=["RemoteShutdown"])
systems = c.Win32_OperatingSystem(Primary=1)[0]
systems.Reboot();

Not sure about Vista, but with XP I use CTRL-ALT-End and then click shut down.

Yes, in XP, ctrl + alt + end works, but in vista it doesn't give option to shutdown. Its not remote desktop, but vista itself doesn't give option to shutdown in taskmanager. I was wondering if its possible to enable it or if there is a different key combination for the shortcut.

You can ALT+F4 or just open a command prompt on your remote pc and type
Code:
shutdown /r

If you open a command prompt make sure you select "Run As Administrator" before you open the command prompt.

Yeah, that is the exactly what I do. An additional notice is that you need to set up the remote pc for automatic bootup without typing in password in logon screen. Otherwise the remote pc halts there and you don't have access after restart.
