You could. But if you put the compatibility mode to Full Security, its
already locked down because users are not added to the terminal server users
group.

You can also lock down the permissions in the registry for HKLM/software.

Are these servers NT4 or Windows 2000/2003?. If they are 2000 or above, go
into terminal services configuration and change your permission
compatibility mode to Full Security. This will stop them from installing
programs. You may have to tweak some registry key's security for some
existing programs so that they continue to work. But fixing that is trivial
if you use regmon.

I have a question, I work for a property management company and we provide
Internet via Citrix to students. I have tried desperately to lock down the
servers but they seem to still be able to install Internet based programs,
(e.g. AOL instant messenger, Poker Party, etc) to name a few. Is there a way
to lock the server down tight so this cannot continue without prohibiting
the users to run necessary programs such as Office?
