The Windows NT Resource Kits, both NT4 and Windows 2000 Professional, include a remote kill process commandline utility 
rkill.exe . To be able to kill a process or processes running on a remote server, you must have admin privileges and 
the rkillsrv.exe service must be installed and running. There is also a gui version of the client tool, wrkill. 
Examples of commandline syntax : 

rkill view \\servername
to get the process list on servername

kill \\servername pid
to kill process pid on servername

rkill \\servername process.exe
to kill a process by name on servername
