Turning off the shutdown tracker

Published December 9th, 2006 in Tips and Windows Server. 0 Comments

I’ve always found the shutdown tracker in Server 2003 terribly annoying. It can be useful on production servers, but 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:

  1. Start–>Run
  2. Type: gpedit.msc
  3. Under Administrative Template -> System, set Display shutdown event tracker to Disabled.
  4. Click OK and you’re done.
