    The best bet really is to do the following:
    * Create a new group for the Helpdesk staff... called something like
    'Helpdesk'
    * Are all of your Servers in the Domain Controllers OU? or do you have
    member servers as well, and located elsewhere?
    * You could create a GPO and link it to the Domain Controllers OU, and any
    other OUs containing your servers.
    * Specify the 'Shutdown the system' policy located in:
    --> Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local
    Policies > User Rights Assignment.
    * Add the HelpDesk group to the policy for 'Shutdown the system', and
    ensure that the administrators also have permission.
    
    Backup Operators have the permissions!

====== icacls.exe copy and save permissons ======
    
    
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753525(v=ws.10).aspx

    Displays or modifies discretionary access control lists (DACLs) on specified files, and applies stored DACLs to files in specified directories.


    icacls c:\folder /save c:\temp\filetosavepermissions.txt /T /C
    
    icacls c:\ /restore aclfile ( provided the folder in aclfiles is c:\folder note: on MS Server 2003 icals does not process Inheritance bit)

    On a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, the Icacls.exe utility does not support the inheritance bit. 
    
====== Xcopy command and save permissions ======

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323007

    You can use the Xcopy command with the /O/X/E/H/K switches to copy the files and retain the existing permissions that have been specifically applied to the file or files.
