Well, the power button would be a tough one but there is a GPO setting...

Sorry to jump in that late but I had to do a BBS Search beforehand.

See for example Removing shutdown option

you may be able stop them from using the power button by playing around with the power saver settings.

However most motherboards will kill the power if the buttom is held in for more than 5 seconds.

As for the shutdown command, there are registry hacks to remove this as Jochen said.

what I'm looking at doing is modifying remote execution to use the -z on in use machines, but I want to try and prevent them from shutting down while it is running the pathes
