No option to shut down or restart

[Guest]

Running Windows 2000 server SP4 with latest patches and SQL 2000. Suddenly,
the only option from START SHIT DOWNis Log off "username" There is no Restart
or ShutDown option. We saw this once before and when the server was
restarted by an administrator via Terminal Server, the system would not
reboot. The latest problem is on a new server at the same site. It has been
running since the end of September with no problem but after the most recent
threee service packs were installed, we found thie isue when we tried to do a
restart during some down time for the office.

Anyone seen this behavior? The client is not really wanting to reboot now
for fear the server is dead when it tries to restart

Try logging on as a different user with administrative privileges and try and
reboot or shut down. If your computer is not a domain controller and it's
authenticated onto the domain, try logging in locally and then see if you can
shut it down. Hope this helps.
