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.
