Tanks, that was also my guess.
But it does not work. I have given SYSTEM the right to Shut down the system,
it didn't work, then I also gave Everyone the permission. Still it does not
work.

Any other ideas ?

When no user is logged on to the system, there are no credentials in use to
validate whether the system is allowed to be shut down, or not. This can be
controlled through Group Policies. Computer Configuration, Windows
Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, User Rights Assignment. Look
in the right pane for Shut down the system. Add System to the list of
users/groups that are allowed to shutdown the computer and see if that
resolves your problem.
