Implementing a group policy to add the Logoff button to the Start Menu also
helps.

What I always do on my Citrix server is set a policy under User
Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and
enable Disable and Remove Shutdown. Not exactly what you are looking for, but
it works. Then you use a command line tool
(like tsshutdn) to reboot. Just make sure you put in the reboot switch if you
don't want to shut it down.

Subject: [THIN] OT: Accidentally shutting down Win2K
I have a little problem that I am looking for a solution for. In WIn2K3 when
you initiate a shutdown/restart of a box
it asks you for a reason for the shutdown/restart. This has saved a number of
our SysAdmin from accidentally
rebooting/shutting down a production box. Unfotunately, Win2K does not have
this safeguard and we have had several
instances where production boxes have incurred outage because a sysadmin was
not paying attention.
We have spoken with MS and they have filed for a design change to have the
shutdown reason screen added on Win2K, but
have told us that the chances of it happening are slim and none due to Win2K
being in an "extended support" role. (FYI:
They also told me that there would be no SP/5 for Win2K.)
So my question is, does anyone know of a product that will add similar
functionality to Win2K so that we can save our
Sysadmins from themselves?
Thanks!
Nick
