How can I enable the immediate shutdown without logging in on the windows 2003 server login screen.
I know it is less secure because anyone can shut the machine down then.
(But "they" could always pull the power plug anyway ;)

Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options.
Entry: "Shutdown: Allow system to be shut down without having to log on". Double click on it, change it to "Enabled".
(I think, obviously the end goal is getting to Security Options, I don't have a WS03 machine in front of me.)
