Try this code. You should have SeShutdownPrivilege
privilege to run it in WinNT.

System.Management.ManagementScope ms = new
System.Management.ManagementScope
(\\\\LocalHost\\root\\cimv2);
ms.Options.EnablePrivileges = true;
//Query remote computer across the connection
System.Management.ObjectQuery oq = new
System.Management.ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM
Win32_OperatingSystem");

ManagementObjectSearcher query1 = new
ManagementObjectSearcher(ms,oq);
ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection1 =
query1.Get();

foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )
{
string[] ss={"2","0"};
mo.InvokeMethod("Win32Shutdown",ss);
Console.WriteLine(mo.ToString());
}

For a local system reboot try this:

using System.Management;

...
// The calling process must have SeShutdownPrivilege for this to work.
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("select name from Win32_OperatingSystem where primary=true");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach(ManagementObject os in searcher.Get())
{
// Enable SeShutdownPrivilege
os.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = true;
ManagementBaseObject outParams = os.InvokeMethod("Reboot", null, null);
}
...

Your Windows user doesn't have this privilege. Please add
it.

Can you give an example to do it?

I'm running my application under Local System Account

Thanks...

Hmm.. The localsystem account has this privilege, are you sure the program is not impersonating someone else?
