You can create a local account and assign the "shut down the system" right in local group policy.

Subject: Account Permissions

Background: We have our equipment hosted remotely in a data center.

Question: What is the minimum account privileges/permissions/policies I can
give to allow a data center technician to login and reboot my Windows 2000
server? If possible I'd even restrict them to 'reboot' vs. 'shutdown', but
that'd be gravy.

The current alternative is to have the data center technician hard power the
box. That works but it sure isn't graceful =)

TIA,

bm
