Hang on a minute... GPO stuff will help with things that go by the
installer route.
Which is just peachy if everything did. But it doesn't...
The fact remains, if they have no access to write to the terminal
server, they can't install programs on the terminal server. So they
shouldn't have elevated *rights* on the server (ie not part of Power
Users, or local Admins), and there should be restrictive permissions on
the aspects of the server where software will leave it's mark - ie HKLM
hive of the registry, and the local NTFS drives of the server.
If they can't write to HKLM, and they can't write to the local server
drives, they can't install software there.
