FOUND IT.
Turns out that ATI "helpfully" installs a lot of junk when only drivers are
selected. They had some kind of parental control program installed with a
stealth install. I removed it and everything is OK. Looks like not only does
ATI have trouble getting their drivers right the first or fortieth time,
they do stealth installs of several programs without an opt-out option. The
only way to find them is to go to the add/remove programs.

The Event Logs are clean as a whistle. Nothing abnormal in them. Clients
are XP Pro SP2 with all the updates applied.
One more finding as I try different things. I set up a new system using a
different motherboard, NIC and video card. It was also installed from the
installation disk as opposed to the PE install on the other systems. I'm
inclined to think there's something in the video driver that's changing
something, but haven't found any settings that might keep the system from
being shut down. Maybe there's a lock from terminal services that's not
being released when the RWW session ends. I'm just not sure where to look
except in the GPO. I didn't see anything there related to shutdown or
logoff that was other than the default unconfigured state. I'm going to
try playing with different versions of the video driver to see what
happens.

I am setting up a new network with SBS 2003 Premium SP1. The server
and workstations are all up to date on their patches. I fixed one
major problem where the client systems would reboot on RWW access as
soon as I typed the password and pressed enter. Turned out it was a
flakey ATI video driver. However, now I can get in fine with RWW, but
once I log out from the remote and access the workstation physically,
I am unable to logout or shutdown. Even Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't do
anything. I even tried several forms of SHUTDOWN -s / -r from the DOS
prompt. It gave me the nice little dialog box and countdown timer but
once the time expired, all that happened is the box disappeared. Any
other form of shutdown/logoff will give the appropriate boxes and
dialog, but instead of the expected result the system just keeps
chugging. After a push-button reset, the systems are fine until the
next RWW access.
This is happening on three ( I haven't had time yet to check the
others, but they're identical) separate client machines using a
variety of remote systems to access via RWW.
????
Event logs give you any errors? WinXP Pro clients, SP2?
TIA
