RE: Windows 2003 Server Terminal Services

Vera,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the script, but I'm fairly certain
that without being able to disable access to the taskmanager, it won't
suffice.

Also, the link you sent is broken. I did remove the linebreak but it did
not help.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/rstrplcy.asp

redirects to:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/404/default.aspx?404;http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/rstrplcy.asp

Which is a default technet 404 page.

To log users off:
Create a batch file, containing something like this:
cd <path_to_the_folder_containing_your_application>
start /wait <application_executable>
logoff

Now define this batch file as the starting application.
Or use the following vb script to launch your application, and
define the vb script as the starting application.

Dim objWshShell, objExec, strAppExe

strAppExe = "<path_to_the_folder_containing_your_application>
\<application_executable>"
Set objWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExec = objWshShell.Exec(strAppExe)
Do While objExec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop
Set objExec = objWshSHell.Exec("logoff")

I should add that I don't mean how do I write code to logoff
from within my program.

I mean, given program X that starts when someone logs in, how do
I force a logout when program X exits.

I thought I had seen it before. I thought Application Server
mode in the 2K Server had that ability.

I tightened the server down some, so it loads a program I wrote
after logon (using group policy).

I also disabled showing the desktop.

How do I initiate a logoff as soon as they close my program?
How do I disable their ability to press cntl+alt+del to get the
Windows Security screen? They can launch any program from
there.

Thanks.

I do not think this is a current functionality of Terminal
Services but it can be done with 3rd party tools or maybe
using Group Policy to limit which applications users can
execute.

Will someone please correct me if I have giving false
information.

Can I setup the terminal server to only serve a list of
applications I choose?

I have Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition with the
Terminal Server role and the Terminal Services Licensing
installed.

Everything is setup so that users can log in and get a full
desktop session.
What I really would rather is a list of applications they
can run, and
nothing else.
