"Generally: No.

In specific: Yes.

You must have physical access to each and every computer or use network book.

You can setup the BIOS that the CD/DVD drive has the first boot priority. Then you can create a Live CD that has a autorun that only executes the following:

shutdown -r -t 0

The live cd will be inserted and the autorun executed.
It will immediately reboot the computer. The live cd will boot because it has a higher priority than the HDD."
