Not sure I'm getting you. You want to be able to shut down/restart from the
RDP login screen? I'm not aware of any way to do that.
Are you connecting directly to the LAN computer from the Internet over RDP,
or are you connecting to the LAN first (VPN, for example)? You can use the
command "shutdown -i" to open a shutdown window that will let you reboot the
remote computer, but AFAIK you need to be connected to the LAN first to do
it.
