I've been looking for more info, and I can't find anything that lets you do a "crashdown" remotely - There is a WMI class (Win32_Shutdown/Win32_ShutdownTracker) that can be used to shutdown a remote computer, but it does a "clean" shutdown, which is not what the querent needs.

I suspect we'd need a way to hotkey to it, but then have some confirmation so you can't accidentally execute this dangerous command. I have some thoughts on how to present quite a few of his options in our SnapBack-Apps.com program, vs using a commandline. Plus, in our app, we do allow non-admins to execute a few safe commands, but with the admin's veto option. | |

| Apr 20, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | DaaBoss | I'll do a bit of testing, but seems that, if you are executing this as an admin from the console, it should work. @Jeff Zeitlin - If from RDP, seems it should also work with admin rights and other admin commands work. | |
