Id suggest getting

Or if you don't want to buy a product, create a shortcut on the server with this path
SHUTDOWN /L /R /T:10 /Y /C - then on the other machine, map a network drive to that shourcut on the server. When you want to reboot, just double click the shortcut.
The server will reboot in 10 seconds, for a longer time change T:10 to T:30 for 20 seconds. You might want to create another shortcut to cancel the reboot too, same steps as above except the shortcut path will be
SHUTDOWN /A.
To create a shortcut, right click the desktop and select
New >
Shortcut. Path
SHUTDOWN /L /R /T:10 /Y /C click
Next >
Finish.
