 Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 5:12 am Post subject: Limiting users to logging on to one workstation at a time |
 |
|
Hello,
In a Windows 2000 domain with users having roaming profiles how can I limit
users so that they can only be logged onto one workstation at a time but
still allow them to logon to any available workstation.
I want to keep users from being logged into more than one workstation at a
time.
Thanks,
Joe |

Hello Joe,
Take a look at loginlimit.
LimitLogin capabilities include:
- Limiting the number of logins per user from any machine in the domain,
including Terminal Server sessions.
- Displaying the logins information of any user in the domain according to a
specific criterion (e.g. all the logged-on sessions to a specific client
machine or Domain Controller, or all the machines a certain user is
currently logged on to).
- Easy management and configuration by integrating to the Active Directory
MMC snap-ins.
- Ability to delete and log off user session remotely straight from the
Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
- Generating Login information reports in CSV (Excel) and XML formats.
Please keep in mind that this tool is Not Supported (similar to a resource
kit or support tool).
The public download location is
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/0/fd05def7-68a1-4f71-8546-25c359cc0842/limitlogin.exe

Thanks for the reply Christoffer.
I take it that there is nothing builtin to Windows 2000 that will do this
then? No GPO setting? That would be preferred but I will look at your
suggestion.
Thank you,
Joe

No there is no built-in feature for this in the OS.

Hi
Adding to chriss3 response:
I don't know what your gold is but...
Did you already considered Terminal Services in your environment?
With Terminal Services you can limit the number of connections 1 at the same
time for each user.
Again maybe this doesn't fulfill your needs but...

I hop that helps
Good Luck
