I get the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen. I get the same behavior from "shutdown 10" even if the computer is not locked. If the Workstation is locked, you must add the -f (or --force) flag to force the system to shut down. At least that's documented for XP. If it doesn't work for 2K, I don't know how to workaround it. There's no such thing as an UnlockWorkstation function, AFAICS.
