Remote computer keyboard is locked

Hi experts,
I am logging into a remote computer via a secure gateway to my work. The remote computer will not accept any keyboard input from my home laptop. I was thinking I would use a dos command shutdown -t 0 -r -f which I was able to paste into the remote desktop cmd window but I cannot figure out how to mimic the pressing ofthe enter key to activate the reboot.

In short I need to get my remote computer to start recognizing my home laptop keyboard -- obviously it accepts all mouse stuff fine.

Thanks.

Pure genius.
Cool man, hey, the first half of the idea was yours. So I say we share the cleverness award. See you around the exchange.
