    Hi ShaeButter,

    Please start the command prompt with "Run as Administrator" option, does it work?

    If the problem continues, please let us know the error message WORD BY WORD.

    Hai,

    I suspects there are some group policy settings to prevent you from shutdown. Check here for that key
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment

    This is a R2-specific forum.  Are you using Server 2008 R2?

    You should still specify whether this is a a domain and whether this account you're using has permissions on all the computers...  Whether there are client and/or network firewalls could also be an issue...
