The only other thing I can think of is to modify the user right for system
shutdown in the appropriate security policy either local/domain/OU. Go to
security settings/local policies/user rights and modify the groups that are
included for "shut down the system" . For non domain controllers, you could
configure in Local Security Policy or at the domain/OU level for groups of
"computers". After a policy refresh the "effective" setting in Local
Security Policy needs to reflect the change. --- Steve
