...sorry that was lame...

looks like the admin disabled shutdown to everyone. there may not be a way. just manually powering it off.

Go to this site and check out the "Enable system shutdown from login screen" registry hack.

I should explain more completely... I am the "admin" . Small office of 8 work stations with win 2k server. Many days I have no need to log on to the sever. Some days I may have to leave the office and have a coworker shut down the sever however I do not want to give out the login password. When I used Nt sever there was a registery modification to allow the shutdown option to become available at the login screen. My question is there a way to activate the shutdown option at the login screen for sever 2k so a coworker could shut down the sever when I'm not there (without logging in first) .... hope this is more clear.

it should be listed in local policies in admin tools

you dont have to modify it directly. go into control panel, then admin tools. then you should see local polices. there should be a long list of things with "enabled" or "disabled" look for "allow shutdown without logging in"
