How to Fix Problem - Cannot Force Log Off for Remote PC - Windows 7?

Cannot Force Log Off for Remote PC - Windows 7

I am running into this problem as I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 on my work pc.
From Windows XP, you can right-click on a computer object in AD and manage it remotely or you could "connect to another computer" under computer management on your pc.
Once you connected to the pc, if you right clicked on "Computer Management (remote pc name)" there was a "Properties" option which you could see the system properties on a remote machine as well as force a log off.
In Windows 7, this "Properties" button is
no longer there when you remotely manage a pc.
I have been trying to find a workaround but all I have come up with so far is forcing a log off by using remote desktop.
Not exactly the solution I was hoping for but I guess it is better than nothing.
Has anyone
else ran into this problem or have a better work around? It would be nice if there was a way to force a remote log off through the shutdown command but unfortunately this is not available.

Thanks,
Josh
