Forcing Logon to a Specific User

Xwardos · 06-05-2007, 01:22 PM

hi people...i hope you can help me on this!!

i have a workstation that loggs on to a domain. the thing is that other user accounts on that domain can also logon using the same computer. now i was wondering if there is a way how i can force only one specific user to logon using that particular computer. and if another else trys to loggon from there, the user will be denied!

any ideas peaple?

yeah the problems with domains.If i know your password i can log on to it anywhere...lol.
i think there's an option in ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS,local policies.i think the section where is says "interactive logon". i don't really remember but try searching there.

In Administrative tools, remove the Domain Users group and Domain Admins group from the Users and Administrator groups. Then add access to your own domain account into the local Users or Local Administrators account (whichever you prefer).
