>From what I have understood from your post, you should give the credentials
for an administrative user of the remote machine during the net use
command, not the guest account name.
   If you are denied to do a net use using administrative credentials ,just
check this on the remote machine
   Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local security policy -> Local
Policies -> security options -> "Network Access : sharing and security model
for local accounts"
  Change this policy's security setting to "Classic - local users
authenticate as themselves"

Now try the net use command again

Once the net use command completes successfully, give the following command:
  shutdown -r -f -m \\hostname
