Remote shutdown without disabling UAC using C#
Question 1.
How do i shutdown the computers in my network without disabling UAC for target computer using Windows 7?
Assumption 1
I disable User Access Control through LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy registry entry.
I feel it opens up the computer to security risks.
I am using shutdown.exe by invoking a cmd.exe process and passing it the IP-address of the target machine.
Assumption 2
I cannot use WMI as it seems more of a security risk than disabling UAC.
c# uac shutdown regedit

Unfortunately, even though you have mentioned that you are using C#, this feels more like a network administration question than a C# code question, and this site is probably not the best fit for that kind of question. You might have better luck at serverfault

I have edited your question to show you the concerns there-in, However, as you can see it has little to do with C#, and is a little.. well.. disjointed. You need to be more specific.
