Re: restart a domain controller

Use the Shutdown command. In the terminal session, Start Command Prompt and use the shutdown command.

If this shutdown.exe command isn't found in Windows 2k, please copy the shutdown.exe from a Win2k3 machine to the Win2k and see if it works.

dear all,

I have a problem to give the right to a userid to restart a domain controller (w2k).

I configured the following settings:
- give the right under Terminal Services: Full access for the userid
- Local Security Settings:
Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> Log on locally: I added the userid
Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment -> Shut down the system: I added the userid
I tested with TS and I logged on locally. But I do not have the choice to shutdown or restart. Only log off.

Is there anything else I have to do, because a shutdown or restart is not possible?

Thanks in advance
Dirk
