Resetting? As in rebooting? If so, shutdown.exe works great, and it come with the NT Resource kit. I think that there is a freebie version floating around too if you can't get the NTRes kit version.

there is 'rkill' as well. they also ported a ton of other *nix commands to 2000 you can also use.
c:\>shutdown \\computer_name
or C:\>shutdown
and this will bring up a dialog box then you select the machine you want to shutdown. you can also select to reboot or perform a straight shutdown. If you need the resource kit I may be able to 'locate' you a copy

IMHO, nothing beats Famatechs Remote administrator, its light, cool, and you īget the remote machines screen in a window. You can use the mouse to reboot remote or you can just select it directly. Check it out at http://www.famatech.com/
