In the Apple Menu "Shutdown" and "Restart" have dissapeared. We have not changed anything, if i delete /Library/Managed Preferences then it comes back, it would appear the settings do disable the shutdown in apple menu is in com.apple.loginwindo.plist, which we have a configuration profile which includes a loginwindow payload, so i assume there is something JSS is doing with the plist. Anyone have any ideas?

Apple Menu - Shutdown and Restart Missing
+7Best answer by mm2270
Have you guys read though the release notes for 9.12? It seems this was a defect that was fixed in that version according to what I saw. its listed as D-005329 on page 15 in the release notes PDF.
+13I imagine that because it's a system / OS restriction (the availability of restart options etc) it might take one reboot to grab the updated settings and the second to apply them.

+27Yes... for us profiles caused this issue and removing them solved it. I'm glad that 9.12 take care of this because we like our profiles ;-)
+2We updated straight from 9.11 to 9.2 and it did not solve the issue. If we disable the profile the buttons appears instantly. We really need the profile because it does all of our cache redirection. Any hints?
+7sparedes i would recommend deleting your configuration profile and recreating it possibly, we re-created all of ours after the upgrade.
+16We're having the same issue and jumped from 9.11 to 9.2 as well. I'd rather not re-create the profile if I don't have to.
+2We did recreate the profile, we even created two empty profiles one with the shut down button enabled and one disabled. No difference. The only thing that worked for us was to create a managed preference and set in com.apple.loginwindow - RestartDisabledWhileLoggedIn to FALSE and ShutDownDisabledWhileLoggedIn to FALSE.
+6I have an open bug: Version 9.1. D-005308
I agree it was fixed in 9.12 but seemed to have came back in 9.2.
+9we are missing the shutdown/sleep options as well. All we can do is log off, and then shut down. We also are using a login window config profile
+7Only one problem with using mcx instead of config profiles on our end using Casper to push mcx records seems to be breaking our active directory binding
+12Removed the profile from effected computers and then removed Login payload from profile and re-distributed to to newly assigned devices without the profile and resolved issue for us. Since we really only had a custom message in login and preference to show name and a couple other non-essential settings was not a big deal for us for time being. Looks like configuration profile stuff still buggy in 9.2 though especially with existing profiles.
+6Getting this issue with 9.2 also. Removing the profiles brings back these options and re-creating the profiles didn't solve the issue.
+12D-005329 has returned?
I am now seeing this issue with JAMF Pro 10.8.0-t1539715549 and High Sierra devices
After removing (excluding) Login Window Configuration Profile
from the High Sierra Mac, Restart and Shut Down returned to the menu.
