IS there anyway I can remove the Shutdown button from Windows Server and replace it with Restart button? I know how to disable/remove Shutdown button through Local Computer policy but I don't know how to replace it with Restart button

Why not disable shutdown the Shutdown button and use a shortcut on your desktop or quicklaunch bar to restart?
Right-click on your desktop and select New> Shortcut
In the Type the location of the item: textbox enter %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r
The -r parameter is used to restart the computer.
The following two parameters can be used with -r: -f Forces running applications to close without warning. -t xx Set timeout for restart to xx seconds.
The following command would reboot the computer instantly. %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00
Click the Next > button and Name your shortcut.
Hope this helps.
BlueGene : I think I almost solved this problem. What I did is a combination of your solution and local computer policy setting. First removed shutdown button from start menu through local computer policy setting then I created a shortcut for restart in start menu by customizing(Taskbar properties>Start Menu>customize>Add) it. What you finally see in the start menu, is a restart button.Hondalex : Great to be of assistance.From Hondalex -
We only leave the Log Off button on the start menu (set through Group Policy - User/Admin Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar). All administrators are required to use the "shutdown" command line to either shutdown or restart the server.
