Is there any way to force NT (and Win95) users to reboot -not just disconnect- their computers?

Within the resource kit you will find a program called Remote Shutdown. This will shutdown an NT workstation. Not sure whether it will do 95 but you can try.

The reskit program, shutdown.exe, or its GUI counterpart, shutgui.exe, will shut down (and/or restart) a Windows NT workstation or server. It doesn't work for Win9x, though. I don't know of anything that does. Hope this helps!

The NT reskit has the solution for NT. There is a freeware app for windows 9x that can perform a remote shutdown / restart. It requires a small "server" app to run on the PC. You can get it from http://w3.to/5679soft or look for RemoteShut.

There are various tools to do this. One of them is part of the Windows NT Resource Kit. It is called shutdown.exe, with this tool you can shutdown computers and reboot them after shutdown. Hyena is another tool with which you can do this. You also can do other administrative tasks with this tool.(http://www.adkins-resource.com)
