Disabling Shutdown/reboot button -> Users AND Enabling for Administators - 05/17/05 06:30 PM

Hi,

I already have installed Terminal Server under Windows 2003 Server and it's actually working well.

But i'd like to configure each "Domain Users" with no option to shutdown/reboot computer, AND ONLY administrators can have its to reboot without enabling/disabled the option in the gpedit.msc.

Is somebody can help me about it ?

Thanks,

Karel

So, esentially, you want the default user account to have the shutdown and reboot disabled?

I believe it is the following

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies

Add dword

NoClose = 1 (computer shutdown)
NoRun = 1 (Gets rid of Run ... handy if the user knows how to enable shutdown via the command prompt. Two ways..Either the shutdown command or rundll32 command)

Also, A list of all known policies and their registry entries. Since what the policy editor does is add entries to the registry...
