Remove shutdown option from start menu
How can I remove only the shutdown option from the start menu on users computers through group policy? We are at a domain and forest functionality level of Server 2008. The only thing I can find in group policy is under Computer Configuration/windows settings/security settings/local policies/User rights assignment\Shutdown the System. I can turn that on but that also removes the restart option. I only want the Shutdown option to be removed.
Ok sorry forgot the screen shots
Setting is "Remove and prevent access to the shutdown comman" (see screenshots)

Those are settings for Server 2003. We are running Server 2008 and I don't see that setting. I do see under User Configuration/policies/Adm
You should be able to import the XP system.adm files (https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21622236/Import-ADM-files.html) into your GPO.

How can I exclude a certain user from shutting the a server, but needs access to do administrative tasks
User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Start Menu & Taskbar
>> In the right pane, double-click Disable and remove the Shut Down command. Click Enabled, and then click OK.
