[Technical] stopping students from killing the VNC processin thetask bar.

[Ford, Jordie]

Too, true, he was also the one that created that "pull the cable and bypass
GP" epidemic. This list has helped me foil his operations this year :)

Yeah, those pesky students. We'd get more work done without them......

Thanks Alan, I tested this on the culprits account and it worked. Can't wait

Hi Jordie. In the vnc server  doco, there are some parameters you can use to
grey out the "Stop VNC server" so essentially, no one can touch it. Eg 

 

AllowShutdown 
If this is set to zero, the user is not allowed to close down WinVNC. Local
per-user setting. 

AllowProperties 
If this is set to zero, the user is not allowed to view the properties
dialog and hence cannot change any settings, including the password.  Note
that this stops all global per-user settings. A valid password must
therefore be in force before using this setting, generally in the local
default-user setting.  Local per-user setting. 

Regards

Alan

Hi there guys, last one hopefully this year. Is there such a way to stop
students from accessing vnc in the task bar and selecting Stop VNC server.

 

And also stopping them from killing it in the task manager. (spose I could
just disable it in gp)
