How do I restrict users from shutting the Terminal Server down? Windows 2000 Server, of course.

take out their administrative privileges and run terminal services in application server mode.

Have your Terminal Server a domain controller. In active Directory Users and Groups create an Organizational Unit that contains all the terminal server users. Creat a group policy for the OU and under User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Task Bar. Enable "disable and remove shut down command" and enable "add logoff to the Start Menu". Any menbers of the OU will only see Logoff.
