Stop users from being able to Kill Processes

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

I'd go with 3. If you make it a service, set for "Automatic" the user
shouldn't be able to kill it. From there, you can specify who the program
runs as (me, you, or local system account). Your software may or may not be
able to function in this capacity, but it's worth a shot.

Hi,

Yes, I unfortunately tried that but the service wouldn’t start. I have
got an email into the company for a fix.

Cheers,

Weird question... what software package is it you're working with?

Hi,

The Software is called Aristoclass by Minicom. It is actually great
when it works. It allows remote control of any workstation, the
ability to restart computers, lock them out, log them off, black
screen them, control IE access etc. It is great for a lab environment
which is what I administer.

Cheers,

Lara
