shutdown problems ... 1

[patcon55]

I have a client with an HP Vectra NT 4.0 SP6a who's machine keeps rebooting after selecting the shutdown bullet. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Unfortunately no!!! but i would be extremely grateful if someone did.
I also have a HP Vectra VL running NT 4.0 sp6, which does exactly the same.
Any ideas anyone?

I had the same problem on a different system. From what I found out the user went into the power management utilities of the BIOS and set his system to "power-on after power failure" I'm not sure of the exact wording in the BIOS but the affects are the same. When the system would power down automatically, the BIOS would treat that as a power failure and power the system back on. Don't know if this is the same but couldn't hurt to check. david e

Same problem here with a different system. Haven't solved it yet.

I ran in to this with HP Vectra systems in my NOC. There is a registry setting for "PowerOffAfterShutDown" (or words to that effect) which when set to a value of 1 (on) would cause the system to reboot after a shutdown. I believe this is located in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon but I haven't got an NT box in front of me at the moment.
