I didn't mention that the system is on a domain in which I do not have
domain admin priviledges but do have local admin priviledges. I must rendor
an account with full admin priviledges for the purpose of shutting down the
system remotely, this I do not want to do. I only want to create an account
so he can shut down only, even if I've locked the workstation. I do not
want the admin to have any access other than shutting down the system.
Can this be done?
