"Shutdown:\\my name of PDC
AdjustTokenPrivileges enable failed"
Why??
Can anyone help me???

"Shutdown.exe doesn't, and issues: AdjustTokenPrivileges enable failed?"

Shutdown.exe, from the NT Resource kit, and Supplement 4, and from the W2K Resource kit, has a minor bug.

When you add a message of 8 character, or a multiple of 8 characters, it doesn't shutdown, and it displays: AdjustTokenPrivileges enable failed.

To get around the problem, adjust your message length.

Examples:

shutdown.exe /L /R /T:20 "123456789" /Y

shutdown.exe /L /R /T:20 "12345678123456789" /Y

shutdown does work on the listed products you mentioned. The proper stynax is

shutdown.exe \\PDC

add any of the other command-line options if you need to reboot it or close any open applications that may be running on the server.

You will need to enter User Manger for Domains on the PDC or BDC and under Policies | User Rights | select Show Advanced user rights (Check box, lower left) Add Adminsitrators and whatnot | Then select "Shut Down System" from the other user rights and make sure your group or username is listed.
