Hi. I trying to disable the use of task manager on a our Terminal Servers. I
created a GPO and used the Computer Configuration eg set regkey which comes
in the system.adm

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr=1

This didn't work!! but if I use the User Configuration eg set regkey

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr=1

It works fine. My question is how can I disable task manager on these
servers only using GP for the Computer Configuration not user. The reason why
I don't want to enable this for users is that I don't want task manager
disabled on their desktops just when they login to a Terminal Server.

Use loopback processing and link a GPO with the HKCU registry setting to the
OU with the Terminal Servers in it.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=231287 and
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260370 (particulalry Method 2).

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
