You can take away their implied rights for the file taskmgr.exe and set
explicit NTFS file permissions at the file level which do not allow the user
to execute that file.

Hello all............

I administer a network with 200 users on it running
win2k,
but I have this problem, there are a few very
computer-security savvy =
users on the network with an intent to make my life
difficult;=20

I currently use Radmin to remotely access different
workstations etc... =
on my network yet these guys always know when I'm
watching because of =
the jump of processor power the R_server.exe
service uses when it is =
active and I'm monitoring there activities.....they
notice almost =
instantly when I connect to their machine because of
the info. task =
manager provides.....my question is ;=20

Is there any way to disable them (specifically these
users) from viewing =
the task manager ?? in other words, stoping them
from pressing CTRL + =
ALT + DEL and clicking on Task manager?

If anyone knows how then I would also like to know if
there is any way =
these users can reverse it within there
simple 'USERS' privileges and =
access rights ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Laterz

Dan B.
