    Try editing your local policy. I can't be sure if it will work since it
    depends on your domain environment configuration.

    Edit configuration under Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings ->
    Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment. Double click
    on policy "Force shutdown from a remote system". Double click the policy and
    add domain user or group that you wish to grant this right.

    User on remote system can then try and shutdown your computer using this
    command:

    shutdown -m \\your_computer

    For details see shutdown /?
