The message 'Access is denied' is probably because you do not have
administrative privileges on the remote machine to execute the 'shutdown'
command.
   Try the following sequence:
  1) net use \\hostname\ipc$
         Enter the administrative priveleged credentials when prompted

  2) Now give the shutdown command
