Question: Are you using Server as a Server or a Workstation?

If the answer is yes: then use ntswitch;
If the answer is no: sorry, i cannot help. :-(

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Reliability]
Value Name: ShutdownReasonUI
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

Edit the value in the registry directly. That used to be how I did it in the pre-RC builds of .NET which didnt have the option built into gpedit.

Thanks, but ShutdownReasonUi is no more there.
Nevertheless I have created it but it dont works.

There are alternatives like shuting down with
shutdown /f /t 0 /s
but...

Here is the solution :P


gpedit.msc
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > -rightclick- Administrative Templates -add/remove- -add- system.adm from a list....now system folder is there... then System > Dbl-Click "Display Shutdown Event Tracker" and select Disabled
