How to Restart Computer with PowerShell

Question

Hi Guys,

I have launched an EC2 instance for Windows. I am trying to connect it using python script so that I can turn off the Windows system using PowerShell. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the Restart-Computer command in your PowerShell. But first, your instance should be in running state. You can see the below command.

$ Restart-Computer -ComputerName "Server01" -Wait -For PowerShell -Timeout 600 -Delay 2
