Need more info. What type of network are you using?If Windows, Terminal services should do the trick.If Novell, Remote Management will work. If you are on a peer to peer network, you can try netmeeting, but its very limited in its capabilities and may want to look into a 3rd part application.

If you have either the Windows NT or 2000 Resource Kit, you can use SHUTDOWN.EXE to remotely shut down and/or restart remote computers.

For installing applications remotely, you can use a lot of different methods; Veritas have WinInstall, Microsoft has SMS, you can use batch files to run unattended installs etc. It depends on your existing infrastructure and your plans for the future which one you would choose.
