Shutdown Event Tracker on Windows Server 2003

Windows server 2003 requests a reason when you try to shutdown your server. For a development or Test environment, this process consumes some times as multiple restart of a server is necessary. To stop the above process, kindly follow the steps mentioned below:

• Click Start-->Run, and type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
• Expand Computer Configuration -->Administrative Templetes. Click on the System Object.
• Locate and double-click the Shutdown Event Tracker Settings. Click on the disable button to disable the Shutdown event tracker. Click OK and close the Group Policy Editor console.

When you shut down your server, you won't be asked to enter a reason.
