WMI not only provides rich information, it also supplies methods that you can call to take action. In the next example, you can forcefully shut down a remote system as long as you have appropriate privileges and there is no firewall blocking your way:
$os = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -computerName 10.10.10.10
$os.Win32Shutdown(6,0)
