The shutdown.exe utility works on the computer it is
initiated on (XP=shutdown -l or W2K=shutdown /L), but try
a cross platform shut down from Windows 2000 to XP
Professional (shutdown \\xxxxx /S) or XP Professional to
XP Professional (shutdown -m \\yyyyy -s). Cross platform
shut downs work correctly from XP Professional to Windows
2000 Advanced Server and from W2K to W2K.

Using two XP Professional machines I get "Access Denied".
Only administrator accounts are logged on the XP
Professional computers running in a workgroup. The Local
Security Policy for Local Users is set exactly the same on
both XP Professional machines. Local User Rights
polices "Shut down the system" and "Force shutdown from a
remote system" are set to Administrator. The Local User
Right "Deny access to this computer from the Network" is
set to "SUPPORT_388945a0".

Has anyone succeeded in what is described above, and if so,
what are the Security Policy settings.
