Win2008 Administrator cant remote reboot server
Hello experts -
I have a win2008 server and created an account (local and domain) and put the account(s) in the administrators group. When I remote control the server I cannot reboot the server - that option is grayed out.
How can I enable that feature so the user can remotely reboot the server?

I added the user to the server operators group and that provided the access.
shutdown -r (reboots)
shutdown -s (shutdown)
