Set computer to ONLY allow remote login, not local

2

We have a Windows 7 computer that, do to some security rules, we would like to configure to ONLY allow remote access. That is, someone would not be able to log in by connecting a keyboard/mouse/monitor directly to the computer, preferably with an exception for admins. Is this even possible? If so, how would one do this? Note that we haven't fully thought through whether this is a good solution or not, as we don't know if it's even doable.

You can specify the "Allow log on locally" local/group policy to determine which users can logon to a server.

or Deny log on locally if you have a shorter list....

This should allow Remote connections set up via "Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services" policy
