Description

Shutdowns and reboots are often failing for Windows Server 2003 using remote calls to shutdown.exe due to a Windows bug. There is a hotfix that supposedly addresses this:

There is usually another utility tsshutdn.exe that can also shutdown and reboot the computer. Investigate this and add it to the code if it works.
