Good day from North Wales. Where can I find the policy to prevent a user from logging on to more than one workstation at a time. I have searched AD, Group Policy and the Microsoft site to no avail. It was straight forward with NT4 so I am sure I must just be missing something. I know I can use Cconnect.exe, but going round over 400 machines ??? Thanks for reading this. ChrisE
It's a security setting in the AD Users And Computers area. I can't recall exactly where as it's been too long, but it's in there and you can set how many logins are allowed at one tme. Set it to one and you're laughing. I do know that you have to do this for each account by name. Look around in there and I'm sure you'll see it.
