How can i enable that AD user should have rights to shuts down domain
server. Could this be done on server itself (i dont like that idea) or could
it be managed by AD.

thanks

Give him a shortcut that creates a semaphore file in his personal
share. Now use the Task Scheduler to run a task once every
five minutes. The task should do this:

Step 1. Check if the semaphore file exists. If it does, move on to Step 2.
Step 2. Delete the semaphore file, then reboot the server.

You can reboot the server with shutdown.exe.

Thank you but I don't like that idea. Is there anything else?
