In Win2k terminal services how can i disable shutdown and restart for clients.

How can i restrict access to just applications I specify??

This is really puzzling me.

Thanks for your help

Hi potts,

Good day and thanks for your question

To disable the Shutdown Button,

1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap in by clicking
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users
and Computers.
2. In the console, right-click your domain, and then click
"Properties."
3. Go to the "Group Policy" tab.
4. In the "Group Policy Object Links" box, click the group policy for
which you want to apply this setting. For example, click "Default
Domain Policy".
5. Click "Edit".
6. Expand User Configuration & Administrative Templates, and then
click Start Menu & Taskbar.
7. In the right pane, double-click Disable and remove the Shut Down
command.
8. Click "Enabled", and then click "OK".
9. Quit the Group Policy editor, and then click OK.


To restrict users from running specific Windows applications, there
are two methods
1. Group Policy
2. Editing the Registry


Group Policy :

1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap in by clicking
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users
and Computers.
2. In the console, right-click your domain, and then click
"Properties."
3. Go to the "Group Policy" tab.
4. In the "Group Policy Object Links" box, click the group policy for
which you want to apply this setting. For example, click "Default
Domain Policy".
5. Click "Edit".
6. Expand User Configuration, Administrative Templates & System
7. In the right pane, double-click Don't run specified Windows
applications.
8. Click Enabled, and then click Show.
9. Click Add, and then type the executable file name of the program
that you want to restrict users from running. For example, type
iexplore.exe.
10. Click OK, click OK, and then click OK.
11. Quit Group Policy Object Editor, and then click OK.

For the second method, you can see a detailed step-by-step instruction

It is not advised to modify the registry unless you're an advanced
user. modifying the registry can cause some damage!

I hope this answers your question. If you have any clarifications,
then please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for using this service and have a nice day

Warm regards,
