Remote access restrictions

I have a Group Policy Question.

Here is my situation.

I have a remote desktop server that a few users login remotely to use a quoting custom built SQL database.

We don't have the remote users to be able to shutdown the server by going to start > shutdown or restart

My questions has two parts I guess:  

1) How is this done through a group policy.
2) Can we use the same account for the users so they don't lose the capability of  shutting down THEIR computers at the office OR do I need two separate AD accounts; one for their computer and one for remote access where they can't shut the servers down?

Servers are running Windows 2008 R2. Computers are all windows 7 Pro.

ASKER

you mean MOVE that computer (server) to that OU?
Yes, move would be more specific. Make sure to apply any additional GPO to that new OU before moving the server so all other currently applied GPOs to that server stay applied when you move it.
Thank you. I will try it and get back to you. thanks again, I appreciate your help.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Users may not shutdown servers by default. If your users were indeed able to do this, the defaults were modified intentionally or your users are nested in the admin group.
