As much as I like Windows Server 2012 I also dislike the logoff/reboot/restart functionality because the are very hard to do when you use remote desktop to your server, fiddling with your mouse in the corners trying to get something to click on.
Thinking about this I searched Internet and discovered this: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Create-a-ShutdownRestartLog-37c8111d which is fine. I took this script and did some small adjustment (adding Windows Update and shortcuts to desktop)
Get the script DesktopLinks.ps1
