Turning Off the Windows Shutdown Tracker
Posted on June 7th, 2007 in IT, Tips, Windows Server |
I’ve never been a fan of the shutdown tracker in Server 2003. Though useful on production servers, it gets old fast when enabled on a test server in VMWare that you reboot/shutdown often. Luckily it is simple to disable.
To turn off the shutdown tracker on 2003 Server:
- Start–>Run
- Type:
gpedit.msc - Under Administrative Templates -> System, set Display shutdown event tracker to Disabled.
- Click OK and you’re done.

Hey Ben, I came by from your comment on my blog and what a great tip that I find for today. I have thought the same thing about using Server 2k3 in a VM. I will implement that on my VM-based servers.
I will also add you to my blogroll.
Thanks!
I have several 2003 / VM how-to’s I need to put up. They have been sitting on a test site doing nothing.
