Force shutdown from a remote system
AKA: SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege, Force shutdown from a remote system
Default assignment on workstations and member servers: Administrators
Default assignment on domain controllers: Administrators, Server Operators
To shutdown a computer remotely such as with the “shutdown /m \\computer” command you must have this right. Don’t confuse this right with “Shutdown the system” which is required to shutdown a computer to which you are logged on interactively or through Terminal Services. ???

I have found that this privilege is also required for a batch job (aka scheduled task) to shut down the local computer using the shutdown command.<br />
