You can remote reboot a machine in many ways but you first need to be connected to it... Are you already connected to it?
If the answer is yes then all you would need to type from the command prompt or from the start-run:
shutdown  /r

Hello thomastxiee,

You may use PSSHUTDOWN from PSTOOLS of Sysinternal : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897541.aspx

If you have domain and you are administrator, I prefer "shutdown -i" command - it gives me graphical interface as I don't have to remember whole command syntax.
I for example like to remote connect to my customer's computers using Logmein Free....
www.logmein.com 
This service alows me to restart, shutdown, provide any maintenance to the computers at will and remotely.
