Server 2003 - Power button no longer works.

[Sparky__H]

Hi guys

I just ran some updates on my 2003 install and it no longer shuts down when I press the power button. It's shut down at the end of the day when there are no media boxes to serve and is completely headless.

For the life of me I cant remember the damn config changes to get it working again.

Anyone know what i'm missing?

Control Panel -> Power Options > Advanced Tab. The option is at the bottom.

Seems odd it would change, Shut down is the default action.

First thing I tried. Looks like it's been blocked at the policy level. I cant find the right one.

Shut down without net login is enabled. Grrrrr.

It's a security setting to stop site technicians accidentally shutting it down.

Good luck finding it!
