We use a Windows 2003 DC and have found that all of our users can choose the "Manage" on "My Computer" and then choose the domain controller PC as the PC to manage. They can then add shares, shut down services, etc. which defeats all the security.

How can I prevent users from specifying another computer name in the computer management console snap-in and/or how do I restrict a computer from allowing on specific users to connect.

Note that all of our users are administrators which I know is bad, but they are software developers and need to constantly re-install, update registries, etc.
