Yes.

If non-Server versions have similar capabilities to Server versions, yes (I know that there's a command-line tool that enables such actions to be scripted for the Server line of OSes, I don't know if that same tool exists on the workstation/home lines).

But something tells me you meant to ask not "can I?" but "how do I?".

OK i just tested this and shutdown my pc by accident
 
Anyway the way i did it was to shedule it to load
c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s that starts a 30second timer that will shutdown the pc after that time.
 
Hope this works/helps
