Startup.exe Not allowed

What permissions do I need to change to allow users to run a batch file that
closes windows via shutdown.exe? The system only allows admins to run this
batch file correctly.
 
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas that could help unravel this mystery
for me. It seems I did not see any response. I hope my question was not
improper for this forum.
 
Hello Juan,
This assumes that you are logged on as the Admin to make these changes.
Go to start/run
type SECPOL.MSC
hit ENTER
LOCAL POLICIES/USER RIGHTS ASSIGNMENTS
Select: Force Shutdown from a remote system
Right click and go to Properties.
there will be at the very least ADMINISTRATORS in the box you will need to
add USERS
Select Add User or Group
Select Object Types
Check Groups
Select: OK
Type in: Users
Select: OK

Then Apply and OK

Close everything out, log off and log in as a user and try your bat file.

I hope this helps!
