Hi We have a few users logging into a dedicated server in a data centre
using TS. We want to configure some options for these users. In our own
server which uses AD (2003), we simply create a new OU for it. However the
dedicated server is stand alone and this option doesn't look available.

Can this be configured or is there another way to set users or groups not to
be able to shut down etc. ?

Many thanks

Re: New OU for TS on Stand Alone server

For a standalone server in a workgroup, you'll have to use the local
policy.
Note that normal users cannot shutdown a server, even if they see the
option in the Start Menu. You haven't made them all Administrators, I
hope?

Re: New OU for TS on Stand Alone server

Thanks for the info.

Does this mean I can;t have sone set of users with one setup and another
with a different setup ?

Re: New OU for TS on Stand Alone server

That's correct, that's one of the main disadvantages of having a
standalone server.
You can give different groups different user rights, though.
And check this as well:

How can I lock down my standalone TS with a local policy without
locking down the Administrator account?

Re: New OU for TS on Stand Alone server

Our virtual access suite can be installed on a standalone server and provide
full lockdown capabilities w/o affecting administrators. We can apply
setting based on user, group, Client IP Address, Device Name or OU.
