i found problem, seems i had changed this policy:
default domain controller policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Shut down the system
i add "everyone" and "users" to this policy and now users have access to shutdown and restart, with removing these two groups users will lost access to shutdown button.
this policy doesn't work with gpupdate /force command and server restart is needed.
now its time to try hasanemresatilmis solution.
