Q:

Can't use remote desktop to restart the server Windows server 2016

I have a windows server 2016 that I can't access through RD... I usually can but it's for some reason I get stuck on "Securing remote connection" 
https://support.microsoft.com/sv-se/kb/2915774
I want to restart the server computer, the server is up and running, and the website too. How can I restart it with for example RD credentials?

A:

You can use PSExec to issue a remote shutdown with the proper argument to restart the server.
You can download PSExec from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/pxexec.aspx
