Safe to use shut down button within Hyper-V console?
Does clicking on the "Shut down" button for a Hyper-V virtual machine in the Hyper-V management console initiate a normal Windows shutdown so the virtual OS will shut down normally?

There is one catch: if a user is logged on and the VM is locked the OS will not listen to the shutdown request.
I suggest using the Server's Shutdown command. That always works and to Philip's point, ensure the machine is logged on.
