Turning off the Windows 2003 Server shutdown event tracker

Category
If you're like me, you may have a few Windows Server images you use in VMWare and even a few real windows servers. Now if you're a large company with lots of people accessing the servers, tracking shutdowns and the reasons for them can be very helpful, for a smaller organization where you may only have 1 or 2 people accessing servers, the windows shutdown tracker can get very tiring. So if you're like me and want to turn it off, here are the instructions:
  1. Select Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC and press OK
  2. In the group policy editor, expand Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System
  3. gpedit.jpg
  4. In the list on the right double click on Display Shutdown Event Tracker
  5. Select Disabled and click OK
  6. Close the Group Policy Object Editor

Next time you shutdown you shouldn't be promtped for a reason.
