No, its Metaframe.

Metaframe XP behavior is that disabled logins are re-enabled after reboot. This 
changed in MPS 3.0 ... disabled logins are still disabled after reboot.

(Actually, I cannot recall with certainty if that behavior is defined by 
Metaframe, or by Windows itseld. If the latter, replace "Metaframe XP" with 
"Windows 2000" and "MPS 3.0" with Windows 2003).

I disagree with your statement about disabled logons surviving a reboot. I'm
not in a place where I can test it, but with XP on Win2K, I'd bet money that
logons are re-enabled after a reboot.

Again, what Mark was saying...?  What's the point?  Why would Citrix direct
a user to a server that has logins Disabled when it could have easily
directed the user to a server that has logins enabled?

Citrix monitors this specific setting and even writes it to the LHC (so
disabled logins will survive a reboot)

It's more for disabling logins long enough to install an application without
somebody logging on and messing up your install.  Remember that if you don't
have your policies set a user could still login into the desktop simply by
setting it up in the Program neighbourhood.  Even if you disable the
published applications or even the IMA service a user can still log directly
onto the server through Program neighbourhood.  Disabling the logins will
prevent all logon's except from the console though.

And what is the point of that? If that is a deliberate design feature, I'm
unable to see it's benefit.
