=BB         Hello
=BB=20
=BB I use rdp and ica throught rdesktop and ica clients on a windows 2000
=BB SP4 server.
=BB=20
=BB I'd like my users not to be able to disconnect but to logoff instead.
=BB=20
=BB I searched on several web sites but I could only find a solution unde=
r
=BB windows 2003 where there is an entry in a GPO that removes the
=BB disconnect entry from the logoff menu.  But there is no such thing
=BB under windows 2000 in the same GPO.
=BB=20
=BB Any hint ?


I finally found how to remove the disconnect option from the shutdown
dialog when one user logoffs.

On windows 2000 server, one has to use the registry. Registring this
key does the thing :

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
     =20
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\polic=
ies\Explorer]
      "NoDisconnect"=3Ddword:00000001


On windows 2003 server, there are two ways of achieving the goal :
       =20
      - you can use the same registry than above

      - you can use the group policy object editor and change this
        object :

        Local Computer Policy
          Computer Configuration
            Administrative templates
              Windows components
                Terminal Services

        At this stage, on the right panel you can see the object
        named "Remove disconnect option from shut down dialog".
        Enable it and that is done.

        Enabling this *does* register the above key.  The group policy
        object editor is just a click-and-click frontend in this case.



Thanks to the two people who helped a bit.  Happy new year to all.

Best regards,
