This is a DOS forum, your question is about Windows. Windows and DOS are two different systems. You need to ask your question in the Windows part of the forum. The second question ... try this: net view For more "net" subcommands, use "net /h"

Just because you use the shutdown command in the command line it doesn't mean it is DOS XD By the way, perhaps you need to explicitly set addiional rights in order to remotely shutdown.
