Task Manager - allowing user to end their own process

[tnt]

Guys,

We have locked most of the stuff users can do on the terminal server
environment, i.e. disallowing right-cling on task bar.

I have occasionally had users called because the application they run froze
on them. Can I allow the user to right click the task manager and end their
own process and not others?

Re: Task Manager - allowing user to end their own process

Hi,

By default users will only see their own processes in task
manager and can end them if necessary. Since you disabled
right-click on taskbar they will need to use Ctrl-Alt-End to
access task manager. You may want to remove the Run
command so that they will not have that option.

If the users are seeing more than just their own processes
then they either have too much rights or their registry has
the taskman flag set for Show processes from all users.

TP,

Thanks for the reply. I remember reading something about the default user
being able to end their own tasks.

Is there anyway I can hide hide "processes tab" on the task manager?

By the way, when you do Ctrl-Alt-End, don't you get the task manager locally
and not the one that is opened from your terminal session ( I am using RDP
and not the actual terminal hardware -dumb termina).

Thanks,
Tntl

I do not know of a way to hide the processes tab.

Ctrl-Alt-End brings up the Windows Security dialog box
in your Remote session.

Optionally you can also use the following TS command line tools:
qprocess.exe
tskill.exe
