Have you tried WMI?



Yes..

The following works while logged in, does not work in startup.
Code:

$rc = WMIRestart()
Function WMIRestart()
  Dim $wmi, $System, $WQL, $colSystem
  
  $wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" + @WKSTA + "\root\cimv2")

  $WQL = "Select * From Win32_OperatingSystem"
  $colSystem = $wmi.ExecQuery($WQL)
  
  For Each $System In $colSystem
    $System.Win32ShutDown(6)
  Next
EndFunction
