A technician is asked to remotely restart a client's computer after office hours for maintenance purposes. The client's computer is on the same local network as the technician. Which command-line tool should the technician use to initiate the remote restart?
The shutdown command-line tool can be used to shut down or restart a local or remote machine. The various switches provided with the command can be used to specify options like remote shutdown, the delay in the action, and a message to be displayed to users. netstat is used to display networking statistics and cannot shut down a machine. gpupdate is used to manually update group policy settings. poweroff is a command used in Linux to shut down the system, not in Windows.
