We have a server that needs to run with the administrator account
logged in at all time because of some third-party software. For that
reason I would like to get rid of the Log Off button. I tried
adjusting the group policy for the server but it didn's work. Is there
any other way, maybe some registry edit?
Thanks

Hello yaro137@googlemail.com,

I think you can not remove it for the administrator and even if done anybody
can get it back because it is the administrator. I would try the way tro
install the software as a service so that there is no need for it.

Best regards

Only tell the password (you could perhaps use a separate administrator
account for this purpose) to only the administrators that need to be able
to occasionaly access the machine for service, and then keep it locked so
others can't log it off. Best would be to lock it up physically so they
can't get at it, but you could also just disconnect the keyboard. It
should be locked (via Windows-L or ctrl-alt-del) so non-admins can't get at
the log in. Assuming that this machine is running Server and not a
Workstation version of Windows, if you log in to it remotely to run your
software instead of from the console, the login won't even show on the
console and people could even still log in locally on the console without
disturbing the remote login running the software.

Leave it alone.
