Could use WinPE and just run the RDP client from that. BartPE has it all set up for you. Just pick and remove utilities you want in there. http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ JK Tim Mangan <tmangan@> wrote: Not lockdown, but if you are really just interested in keeping users from screwing up the machines and needing maintenance, you might look at Ardence. The OS image is on a server and if configured for this need, it will use a fresh image each time you reboot. There are other refresh products out there, but these guys seem to have the best implementation. If the desktop has a 4200rpm drive it might even boot faster using Ardence than a native boot.

I?m having some problems with the rdesktop and com port redirection. So? I have a need to build some windows clients. I need them right locked down tight. Does anyone have any tips for building a windows client that can?t be tampered with? Ideally it should function like a kiosk and just load the RDP and launch the server desktop.
