Hi, i have a server installed with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition. when i click on shutdown, only have logoff and switch to users option, there is no shutdown/restart. i tried with remote desktop in to server, sending ctrl+alt+end, click on shutdown & choose restart but it came back to desktop screen, just won't restart. sending shutdown command with arguments from run also won't help.

Hello, is that machine a domain member, then check GPOs configured on that server with rsop.msc or gpresult /z?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi Meinolf, thank you for your reply. Part from the gpresult /z result run on server; currently logon as local administrator account instead of domain account (i think last time can shutdown/restart when logon as domain acount because it is member of domain admins) GPO: Default Domain Policy Policy: ShutdownPrivilege Computer Setting: GENTINGLANCO\Domain Admins Thansk & Regards, Kelvin
