possible problem with the hal.dll version
the computer has w2k server with sp4. when i shut down it restarts after the shutdown. i tried a live cd and it doesnt do that, so its an OS problem. im thinking its because hal.dll is outdated/misconfigured. it says acpi multiprocessor but i only have one xeon cpu, the other cpu slot is empty.
hall.dll version 5.0.2183.1 also PowerdownAfterShutdown key was set to 0, but i have already set it to 1.

It will show as multiprocessor if that Xeon is hyperthreaded and/or multicore.
Restarting after shutdown is usually due to "wake on lan" being enabled in the bios. |

nope its not WOL. i disconnected the ethernet and it does the same thing. every time i turn off, it restarts. isnt that hal.dll version too old. it dates back to 1999 according to driver details.

Look elsewhere. That's the same version my Win2K Pro SP4 box has.

can you do me a fvor and check if your winlogin\PowerdownAfterShutdown key is 1 or 0.
ms says that 2000 doesnt use the key.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc939719.aspx |

ok im back.
i have an idea. can i put some kind of a shutdown script in the bootloader or somewhere during the load process to shut it down after it reboots. my brainstorming comes up with vague things like init and grub, although i would like a windows only solution. |
