Question : Tried to reboot xp machine remotely but it got stuck, any way to force a reboot via command line?

Hi guys, I'm out of town and was using VPN to work on one of my XP machines back at work. I needed to reboot it but I'm guessing it got stuck at a dialog box when trying to go down. Now I'm stuck not being able to remote into it and unable to drive there to physically complete the reboot. Does anyone know of a way I can force a reboot via command line etc? I'm a domain admin on a Win Xp / Server 2003 domain. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello JReacher,

Use psshutdown with appropriate flag :
