Hi,
Is it possible to configure user rights on a TS server, so that they dont
get the Shut Down button, from the Start. They can have Log Off, buit I am
worried that someone will click the Shut Down.

Tks

Yes, make sure your terminal users aren't Power Users, admins, or local
administrators. Normal Domain Users won't have the shut down option.

Well it will say "Shut down" but if you select it the actual Shut down option
isn't there.

Hi Alex,

If your user doesn't have rights (for example if they are a standard user)
then they can't shutdown the machine anyway - however you can remove the
shutdown option with group policy so it doesn't appear either.

See this link - it says 2000 but the information is valid upwards too...

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
