Help: user shuts down VNC with "ctrl-alt-del"

[Andrew McKnight]

Hi,

As you're running Win2K on the PCs, have a look at implementing Group Policies through Active Directory.  There's a section - User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon/Logoff -> Disable Task Manager - that prevents the user from running task manager at all.  If they can't get to task manager, they can't kill the service  :)

HTH,

Andy.

How can I keep a user from shutting down the service using "ctrl-alt-del"
???

I have VNC running on all of our win2000 machines at my office.  Everybody
is aware that they can be controlled and monitored from my computer...but,
as a precaution, I have disabled AllowShutdown, AllowEditProperties, and all
that.  BUT, i have one user who has figured out you can hit "ctrl-alt-del"
and  END the "winVNC.exe" process, which will shut down the VNC server.

How can i keep this from happening?


Thanks
