Am I able to disable the shutdown menu on Windows 2003 Server?

You know where you want shutdown and before it let you shut it down... you have to explain why you want to shutdown by choosing the reason:

Hardware maintaining, Software maintaining or etc...

Is there a way to disable that?

I mean I just want Standby, Restart or shutdown without having to give a reason for it?

Thanks in advance.

To disable Shutdown Event Tracker perform the following:

Open Group Policy, then load the group policy you want to apply the change to.
Note: On a computer that is not a part of a domain you can set this feature locally by running GPEDIT.MSC from the Run command.

Expand Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.
Double-click Display Shutdown Event Tracker.
Select Disabled.
Select the Never option, then click OK.


Click OK to close all dialog boxes.
