It looks good!

Can we also have an optional Port? Or is that part of the host (e.g. 
myhost:1234)?

It would be nice to have read-only Properties for host, user and maybe 
port.

Shouldn't these all return a Boolean to know if they were successful? 
For instance, what if a non-admin tries to add a user or shutdown the 
server.

For the Shutdown(0) Method, maybe a Shutdown Event could be fired so we 
know when the server has actually shut down.
