MessageThis happened, embarassingly enough, to me.
The button on the login screen for "Shutdown" was enabled for all users. It
took me a while to figure out why I was getting clean shutdowns. The lady
that was initiating them had no idea what she was doing, having been
auto-reconnected after a disconnect and getting a login screen, she
"shutdown" when she failed to re-login...

Something to note: This person would need to have more than just domain
user privileges.
IIRC, by default, a TS is only going to allow them Log off and Disconnect.

If you are using roaming profiles and a user does not have write
permission to their registry file the group policy will not apply. I
suggest using local policies to restrict who can and cannot restart a
server.

I hope there is not a new virus that may do this. We have been very
well protected so far what with the various firewalls, devices and software
packages we use. I am really considering Ryan's suggestion of a user
inadvertently restarting. How they got permission I can't think. Plus I
use GP to hide all shutdown and restart items.
What if GP wasn't being applied to a computer or a user? Any way to
find out if this was the case?

Spyware? Virus of some sort?

Subject: [THIN] W2K TS sudden restart
Has anyone ever run into a problem where a W2k SP4 Terminal Server
suddenly restarted on its own, logging off all users and restarting? This
just happened to us today. I couldn't find anything suspicious in the event
log.
