The Simplified I.T. Solutions Power Utility is an administrative utility that does not include the limitations included in the Windows Remote Shutdown Dialog and without the price tag of many third-party applications.

The utility is not aimed towards companies themselves, we've designed the utility to be sold directly to the I.T. Professional for use in their current and future roles and companies.

The limitations of the Remote Shutdown Dialog in Windows are significant. The built-in utility does not include the ability to specify a log off or shutdown of the remote machines, does not accept specification of the credentials to utilize, and does not produce an easily savable output. Add to those limitations the fact every time you load the utility you have to manually fill out all the options by hand and frequent use of the utility can be cumbersome. 

Our Power Utility allows administrators to specify all shutdown options including forced options. The administrator can specify a comment, timeout period, and reason code for the action and all this information is logged into the Windows Event logs on the target machines for history. We've added the ability to specify all the options as defaults, so administrators who reboot the same servers each month for maintenance only need to launch the utility and press the execute button. The output is simple and is easily saved directly from the Power Utility itself, no more having to rely on logs from client server based platforms or having to manually save the Remote Shutdown Dialog results.

While the concept and design requirements are simple at best, remote restarts and log offs are a very common I.T. Administrator and Engineer task, and our utility assists with streamlining that process quickly and effectively.
