Thanks Bill, I did just that. Also, I configured the
following setting in the Group Policy:

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows
Components\Terminal Services\"Sets rules for remote
control of Terminal Services user sessions" to Enabled:
Full control without user's permission.

I don't know if that will do the trick (I can't terminal
myself with my current setup) but if I find I've nailed
it I'll post back.

Thanks again.

Well that sure didn't work: the currently logged on user
(non-admin) can still prevent an admin from logging on
even with that group policy setting enabled. Bummer.

Yeah--I don't think there is a good solution for this one at the moment.
At least I haven't heard anyone saying they had one!

Disable Fast User Switching... Then it takes an admin to override a
user login...
