Basically I need to grant a group full local administrative permissions but hide or disable the shutdown button for them in the start menu.

We have Windows servers from 2008 to 2012.

I did my research, however my AD counterpart is stating it is not possible to implement it.

  • @kaloyan i'd say it's possible to disable or enable the shutdown button, but they can't just "switch" this in a session. they are able to change it and on next logon the change takes effect – SimonS Feb 08 '16 at 08:51
  • I want to hide it in order to avoid incidents, not to forbid them from shutting the servers down. – nosqltillcoffee Feb 08 '16 at 08:56
  • check this. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/7553/remove-shutdown-and-restart-buttons-in-windows-7/ instead of local policy you're doing it on GPO. should be similar. – SimonS Feb 08 '16 at 09:29

  • @HopelessN00b, this ways is stating who can see the power button, I need a way to state only who can't. – nosqltillcoffee Feb 08 '16 at 15:45

Active Directory policy "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar: Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down command" can state who can't see the Shut down and restart buttons.
