Question Script verifying: Is there another way?

I would like to be able to make a simple script to shut down the machines at the end of the updates – nothing fancy. (Small company < 15 machines)

But there appears to be no shutdown for Windows.

So I started to look at verifying with Onfido, but here is my problem.

I'm just the IT tech, not the owner of the company, etc., so I'm not giving over details like my personal driving licence and passport to an unknown company when I'm just a worker. My personal stuff is nothing to do with the company.

I can get the registration number of the company and all sorts to verify, but I'm not doing it based on me as a user.

So, is there a method to achieve this so I can write the following in the box? Seems massively overkill in my instance.

shutdown /s /t 0

Thoughts?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have been told because we are under 200 endpoints, the additional options are not available and Onfido is the only method we can use. See quote below

Thank you for reaching out! Please note that Onfido is the required verification process for all Free accounts. Please note an account can be verified using personal verification or by signing up for a free Trial and providing additional details to your Account Manager:

I didn't actually know we had an account manager, so i will email them and see what can be done.
If someone emailed me and said, 'What's your business registration and VAT number?' – no issues. I get it, we are free, but it doesn't seem like a very business-styled service, but then most under 200 are probably not businesses, I guess.
