this article should help you

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278295

the setting is in
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu & Taskbar]


you can remove the shutdown in group policy and add the logoff button so
users never shut the server down..

RE: Shutdown from Remote desktop

From:
How can I prevent my users from shutting down the Terminal Server?
http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_configuration.htm#preventShutdown

If your users can shutdown the Terminal Server, they are members of
the Administrator group.
If that's the case, there is no way to prevent them from shutting
down the server (and they will be able to do far more serious
damage than merely shutting it down!).

You can remove the Shutdown option from the Start Menu with a Group
Policy, but this is only a cosmetic change. Normal users will *not*
be able to actually shutdown the server, even if they see the
option, and Administrators *will* be able to shutdown the server,
even if they don't see the option.
