There's a freeware app called VNC. Go to yahoo or some other search engine and search for VNC.. It's an at7t labs app used for remote control. Load it up on all the clients and you can remote them as if you were standing IFO them.. You can installit as a service so you can do a log off and logon without dumping the connection. Best part is it's open source...(free)

little utility from Matcode software www.matcode.com called remote shutdown. Can be run from a floppy on any workstation on the network. Is configurable and pretty fun if it is used mischievously.

You didn't state the Server OS; I'm assuming is NT.

There is a utility in the NT Resource Kit that is used to manage workstations; one of its capabilities is to shutdown the clients.
