Trying to figure out how I can set the shut down of windows so that
when a user is logged on to a remote desktop session that the only
option allowed when they select start > shut down is to log their
accounts off and not have an option to shut the physical server down.
 
You can use a Group Policy to remove the Shutdown option from the
Start menu.

[User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu & Taskbar]
Disable and remove the Shut Down command

Note that this is only a cosmetic thing: normal users will not be
able to shutdown the server, even if they see the shutdown button.
If your users can actually shut down the server, it means that
they have Administrative rights. In that case, removing the
shutdown option fron the Start menu will *not* remove their
ability to shutdown the server (and do all kinds of other things
that will eventually make your server unusable).
