Shutdown another System using shutdown.exe in C#?

Question

I use the following code for shutdown the own System.It was working Fine.And I need to shut down another System, which is connected in LAN Connection. I'm unable to do it with this code. How to Shutdown another System using shutdown.exe? My OS is windows7.

using System.Diagnostics;


        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Process.Start("shutdown.exe", "-s -t 00");

        }

also hope you make sure you have admin rights in the other system. next time you want to check for options for a command try the help for the command in command prompt. — Naveen Babu, Nov 23 '12 at 05:53

Tried running the same command from console, outside of C#? Maybe it just don't work? — J0HN, Nov 23 '12 at 06:50
This is the exact command I used today to do this: `shutdown -m \\au2068serv.local -r` to restart a server located on my desk (with no screen attached). That should work (I'm on Win7). — Simon Whitehead, Nov 23 '12 at 07:24
@SimonWhitehead I do like this way, protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Process.Start("shutdown -m \\servername.systemName -r"); }.It causes the error — V.V, Nov 23 '12 at 09:05
