How to send shutdown command from computer a to computer b if they are intranet in C#

I am not asking how to code it 

Process.Start("shutdown","/s /t 0");

I am asking if I made a user interface to detect the computers in the network. Knowing their ip and having domain admin priveledges. How do I send a signal to execute my c# .exe ?

That would be so wrong to be able to execute applications remotely, right? :) I think best method is to write your C# executable as a background service. To send remote messages, WCF is very useful. Here are the links you need:

About WCF: (which you will need to call functions from a remote computer)

edit: i didn't know about shutdown command's extra parameters. if that method works, it's much easier of course.

The command line is 

shutdown /m \\<MACHINE NAME OR IP>

so you can use:

Process.Start("shutdown",string.Format(@"/s /t 0 /m \\{0}",machineIp));
