Only Admins Can Exit

From EduVNC

Jump to: navigation, search

Contents

Checked

When checked users must have the ability to write to the HKLM\Software\EduVNC key to exit EduVNC. If the user lacks this right, then EduVNC will minimize to the tray instead of closing.

This is primarily designed to allow administrators to run EduVNC and a saved service on log on without having restricted users close EduVNC.

Unchecked

When unchecked EduVNC will exit when closed like a typical application.

Registry Information

HKLM\Software\EduVNC contains AdminToExit which is the check box state. Valid values are:

  • True: The box is checked. EduVNC will close only for users with write permission to HKLM\Software\EduVNC.
  • False: The box is unchecked. EduVNC will clode when any user attempts to exit.
  • If value is undefined or other: The box defaults to False.

Additional Notes

This setting does not guarantee a regular user will not be able to close EduVNC. Because the EduVNC task is running as the user they can use the task manager or a shutdown event to force EduVNC closed. True prevention would require running EduVNC as a different user.
