Posted by MGCJerry, 03-27-2010, 01:16 PM I've recently acquired a new server with Server 2003 and after reloading windows on it, whenever I want to shutdown/restart the machine, it always says "There's a user logged on... blah blah". Only after dismissing this message the server will shutdown/restart. How can I stop this? I have already disabled the "shutdown event tracker" thing and I couldn't find anything else in the Group Policy Editor. Thanks in advance.

If you find any active user sessions connected to you server(see task manager) and running any programs please have them save their datas before you hit shutdown/restart otherwise datas will be lost. Tip - Whenever you are finished working in your server make sure you 'logoff' your session instead of 'disconnect'. Thanks!
