Our system administrator recently transferred us from a workgroup to a
domain. In doing so he changed the ability for the local user to shutdown
the local machine to domainusers only. I still have a couple of programs
that I need to use under my old profile and not being able to shutdown the
system (its a laptop) is very annoying. I have asked him to restore the
local ability but he has shown confusion. Can anyone tell me exactly what he
would need to do so that I can give it to him directly. I think that he
meant to change a server policy and instead changed a local users policy.

Thanks,
-Justin

A user that is a local administrator would need to logon and open Local
Security Policy [secpol.msc] and go to local policies/user rights and add
users to the user right for shut down the system. --- Steve

OT, but I'd see why you can't run your software under your domain login. I
don't like to give users local accounts at all - keeps things simpler.
