Answer 1

Some working code for InitiateSystemShutdownEx:

// Get the process token
HANDLE hToken;
OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY,
    &hToken);

// Build a token privilege request object for shutdown
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tk;
tk.PrivilegeCount = 1;
tk.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;
LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, TEXT("SeShutdownPrivilege"), &tk.Privileges[0].Luid);

// Adjust privileges
AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken, FALSE, &tk, 0, NULL, 0);

// Go ahead and shut down
InitiateSystemShutdownEx(NULL, NULL, 0, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

So far as I can tell, the advantage to this over the ExitWindowsEx solution is that the calling process does not need to belong to the active user.
