Guys,

anyone know how to force quit a program on another win 7 pro x64 pc in the domain via a command line?
I need to shut down Outlook 2010 on certain pc's remotely to enable me to deploy some software (won't deploy if outlook is open).

I can't remote into the pc, it has to be done via a command line and not a 3rd party application either.

Any help much appreciated, thanks :)
 
Thanks marc, but it's still 'kind of' a 3rd party tool.

Sory, i probably should have been a little more specific;
I'm using a 3rd party program to deploy software around the domain as GP sucks nutsacks!
I can set up steps in the deploy package to:
1. uninstall existing software version
3. install latest version
In between these steps i can add a command line, but i'm assuming (not fully checked) that it has to be a command available directly through windows cmd prompt. It would be this step that i send the command to shut the relevant program down to allow the install in step 3 to take place.
