| Disable Windows 2003 Shutdown Tracker |
Windows 2003 has an event tracker that prompts you to enter a reason for shutting down a server. To disable this feature, perform the following steps:
Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Group Policy Editor (GPE) snap-in or use Windows 2003 Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to load the Group Policy Object (GPO) that you want to modify (e.g., the Default Domain Controllers policy).
Navigate to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System.
Double-click Display Shutdown Event Tracker.
Select Disabled, then click OK.
Use the Gpupdate command to force the policy to refresh.
Customising the Events
The tracker includes several built-in events, you might want to add your own events. To do so, perform the following steps:
Start regedit.exe.
Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Reliability\UserDefined.
From the Edit menu, select New, Multi-String value.
Set the name in the following format:
P—The shutdown is planned.
C or B—A comment is required.
S—The reason should be displayed in the user-initiated shutdown box.
D—The reason should be displayed in the sudden shutdown box (you must specify either S or D).
Define a major reason number and a minor reason number. For example, PCS;5;5 means a planned, comment required, user-initiated shutdown with a major reason of 5 and a minor reason of 5.
Double-click the new value and enter two lines. The first line is the title (up to 64 characters), and the second line is the description (up to 96 characters)—for example,
New Reason
Reason description here.
Click OK.
Close regedit.
