Can't hide or disable the shut down and restart button for remote users/ Terminal users

---

I have tried hiding/disabling it in the User configuration gpo but nothing seems to be happening.

Can anyone give me guidance?

@tenasen-ray-charles,

did you try the computer configuration under administrative templates?

Yes I did but the shutdown menu still shows and allows remote users to shut down the server.

@tenasen-ray-charles,

This may have be done with loopback processing enabled.

In the GPMC create and link policy to OU where your placed your terminal servers

Edit that policy to turn on loopback processing:
ServerName > Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Group Policy > Configure user Group policy loopback processing mode

If you have existing user policies, you will want to use Merge rather than replace. Apply and Ok.

Now, go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate Commands. Enable and apply and ok.

gpupdate /force or reboot.
