How to hide the Log Off button?

[Guest yaro137@googlemail.com]

We have a server that needs to run with the administrator account

logged in at all time because of some third-party software. For that

reason I would like to get rid of the Log Off button. I tried

adjusting the group policy for the server but it didn's work. Is there

any other way, maybe some registry edit?

Thanks

Hello yaro137@googlemail.com,

 

I think you can not remove it for the administrator and even if done anybody

can get it back because it is the administrator. I would try the way tro

install the software as a service so that there is no need for it.

 

Best regards

Only tell the password (you could perhaps use a separate administrator

account for this purpose) to only the administrators that need to be able

to occasionaly access the machine for service, and then keep it locked so

others can't log it off. Best would be to lock it up physically so they

can't get at it, but you could also just disconnect the keyboard. It

should be locked (via Windows-L or ctrl-alt-del) so non-admins can't get at

the log in. Assuming that this machine is running Server and not a

Workstation version of Windows, if you log in to it remotely to run your

software instead of from the console, the login won't even show on the

console and people could even still log in locally on the console without

disturbing the remote login running the software.

Leave it alone.
