How to Prevent Multiple Logons to Windows NT Domain

[esalgado]

Is there a method to prevent multiple logons to the WIndows NT Domain that doesn't require third party software?

None I'm aware of, however there are a couple of methods on <A HREF="

involving scripting and some freeware. Tip#296 would be the one to look at first. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

How about this<br>
In the Server go to &quot;User manager for domains&quot;<br>
doubleClick on the user<br>
Click &quot;Logon on to&quot; at the bottom <br>
This will allow you to set only one workstation at a time.<br>
<br>
Maybe?<br>

Q. How can I stop a user logging on more than once?<br>
<br>
A. There is no way in NT to stop a user logging on more than once, however it is possible to restrict a workstation so that only a certain user can login, and with this method each user would be tied to one workstation and thus could only logon once. <br>
<br>
Logon to the Workstation as the Domain Administrator <br>
Start User Manager (Start - Administrative Tools - User Manager) <br>
Double click the Users group and select the Domain\Everyone and click remove <br>
Next click add and select the specific domain user and click Add <br>
Close User Manager <br>
Logoff and only that specific user will be able to logon (be careful that Administrators still include Domain\Administrators or you will not be able to logon) <br>
This solution is far from ideal, and it may be plausible to write a login script that checked if a user was currently logged on and if so, logoff straight away (using the logout command line tool).<br>
