Urgent ! How to remotely shutdown multiple computers, with VB

[hiptino]

I'm developing a retail application. In order to achieve ease-of-use, I want the administrator to be able to remotely
shutdown, restart or logoff any computer on the network, from within my application.

How do I do this?

Hi,

This might be of some use:

http://vb-world.net/articles/shelldoc

It contains info on how to shut-down Windows, suspend Windows and so on. If you wanted to do it centrally from one machine, that's tricky unless you had a small app running on each machine checking for a signal from the Administrator. Alternatively you could use TCP/IP to send out a signal...?
