Shutdown a PC on LAN from another PC using a batch file in Windows 7

I'm just interested in knowing: can we shutdown a PC from another PC using a batch file if both are on the same LAN?

Easiest way:

set computertoshutdown=COMPUTERNAME
set timetoshutdown =TIMEtoSHUTDOWN
set message=MESSAGE

shutdown -s -m \\%computertoshutdown% -t %timetoshutdown% -c "%message%"

Call the shutdown command from a batch running as a user with the correct permissions or use psshutdown.
