The following error may appear in your Eventlog. The error mostly occurs without notice.

Description:
The machine wide Default Launch and Activation security descriptor is invalid. It contains Access Control Entries with permissions that are invalid. The requested action was therefore not performed. This security permission can be corrected using the Component Services administrative tool.

Disable Shutdown reason

In all recent server editions of Windows, shutting down or rebooting a server always requires a reason to perform the action. This is an action performed by the Shutdown Event Tracker service.

In a production environment, I can only encourage to keep this annoying screen because it saves you from accidentally rebooting a server. However, in a test environment it can be quite annoying.
