Server 2008 shutdown

[Guest Arne Garvander]

I have to log in before I shut down. Is there a setting that allows me to

shutdown without log in?

Non-admin can't shutdown at all. Is there a setting to change that?

(I am using my server as work station and not as a normal server.)

Yes there is. start gpedit.msc and go to:

 

Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local

Policies -> Security Options.

 

You will find an option named something like "Shutdown: allow system

shutdown without having to log on"

 

and change the setting to "Enabled"

That's a different setting:

 

Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local

Policies -> User Rights Assignment.

 

then add the users and\or groups to "shut down the system".

 

Cheers,
