Been trying to get my machine to shut down automatically using  the Windows2000 Server 
Resource Kit program: Shutdown.exe.  

Even though my machine powers down fine when I manually tell it to shut down, it 
gives me the "it is now safe to turn off your machine" screen when I execute Shutdown.exe.

I changed the Powerdown setting in the registry to "1", but that didn't do the trick.

Any suggestions?

System:

win2k sever with the latest SRs installed
AMD T-bird 750 Mhz

That's my advice anyway.
