Shutdown Button Missing

[ptotham]

 

I have notice that the shutdown button from the logon screen has been going missing on machine but then appears back after it has been rebooted, anyone else seen this or herd of this and what causes it?

[RageRiot]

the only time I know of the button disappearing is when a user is logged in and either 'switch user' is used or when the computer comes out of standby and requests a password.

on our domain we dont allow user switching but the machines do go to sleep after 30 mins thanks for that i will go and test that now.

Not an answer to your question but what is the application your using there to get remote access to the machine?

@russdev - Your marketing team still missed the boat on that one for passive advertising. If it had said in the titlebar "Impero Remote Control" it would still be unobtrusive but would helpfully brand all screenshots where people were showing things. This would save questions like mine above and could passivly lead to better market saturation with almost zero effort on your (companies) part.

As to the button being missing do you have any GPOs that restrict shutdown for certain users. If there is one that prevents a certain batch of users from shutting down this may remain in force after they have logged off hiding the button.

 

You could also try adding a machine GPO to allow guests to shutdown the computer which may bring it back.

No there are no restrictions on who can and can't shutdown machines, i will give the guest shutdown idea ago and see what happens, the weird thing is if it was a gpo i wouldn't have thought rebooting the machine would make it come back unless we had set a user GPO.
