Question : user restrictions 2003 server

hello,

i have win 2003 server STD. running in my office. i have created users in it and users can remotely login to server. i wanted to know is there any way by which i can disable the Shutdown button option in start bar menu for my users who are logging to server remotely to prevent accidential shutdowns.

i tried this already in Group Policy> User Configuration> Administrative templates> Start Menu and Taskbar> Remove and Prevent access to shut down command.

but when ever i enable this setting, the setting is also applied for the administrator, which means if i am logging to machine i also can not see the Shut down button in start bar menu. i only want to apply these changes for the users and not for administrators.

can any one let me know, how i can do this.

Thanks and regards,
wajeeh

Hi wajeeh_r,

you need a domain environment so that you can segment your users with policies

otherwise its this battle which is sketchy at best!
