Shutdown/Restart Windows 8 from a remote desktop session
So there I was, changing some GPO settings and pushing out to a test machine. I used remote desktop to connect to the target desktop, ran a 'gpupdate /force' and decided to reboot the machine. erm. Where's the security options gone? All the normal places simply show 'disconnect'. Well once you figure it out (or use google :) ), its remarkably simple. On the desktop, Alt-F4 gives you the 'old school' shutdown options.
