How do you prevent them from installing other Server Services (WINS, DNS,
DHCP, etc) while still allowing them to install the software they are
demoing?

They would still need the ability to install software and patches on the
machine, though I dont want them to beable to install other Windows
services. We usaully put the i386 Directory on the C-Drive incase they
need something when they install their software, or when we do updates. We
could take it off, but I wouldn't put it past some of them to get a copy of
a Server disk somewhere...
