Disable "X" option to disconnect a terminal session

[Guest Roget Luo]

Is there anyway to disable or remove the "X" option on the Terminal banner

to disconnect a terminal session? I want all clients to go through the

process of close out all programs and log off a terminal session. Adjusted

the registry to remove the Disconnect option from Start-Shutdown, however,

can't figure out a way to disable the "X".

 

Terminal server is Windows 2003 Std.

 

Thanks in advance.

There's no native way to this this, but here's a hack:

 

Disabling the X box on the Terminal Services client

and here's a 3rd party utility which does this:

 

AppScape Lockdown Utility

Note that no method is really fool-proof, since users can always

just kill the rdp client, or simply minimize and later turn

off/reboot their workstations.
