SYMPTOMS
The remote shutdown of a Windows NT 4.0 server (or workstation) with shutdown.exe from the Windows NT resource kit does not work if the "Shut down the system" right is removed for the currently logged on user of this server (or workstation).
The remote shutdown also fails if a user without this right has locked the Windows NT server (or workstation) by clicking Lock Workstation after performing a CTRL+ALT+DELETE key combination.
CAUSE
To shut down the computer a separate thread is created in the context of the logged on user to shutdown the machine. Since the user does not have shutdown privilege this fails.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
152734 How to Obtain the Latest Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 4.
