I have shut off the shutdown option for all users, including
Administrator, that makes us do shutdowns from the actual console and
keeps people from remotely shutting down the server accidentally .

 

Thank You

Subject: [THIN] Hotfix: A terminal server that is running Windows Server
2003 stops responding during the shutdown process if a remote console
session is established on the server

 

Consider the following scenario: 

P         You establish a remote console session on a terminal server
that is running Windows Server 2003.

Note To establish a remote console session, run the mstsc /console
command. 

P         An application calls some APIs to perform an automated
shutdown on the terminal server. 

Note Automated shutdown means that you log off all terminal sessions
before you shut down the server. 

In this scenario, the shutdown process stops responding. Additionally,
you have to force shutdown the terminal server to recover from this
issue.

This problem occurs if a user performs a console logon to the server
before the automated shutdown is called.
