Concurrent Logins W2K Server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Believe it or not there is no Group Policy to do such. CConnect from the
Resource Kit can do such but requires a Sql server on the network and a client
component. There are other third party programs that can do the same and do not
need a Sql server. In AD you can limit which computers a user can logon to in
the domain with their domain account in their account properties/account. ---

It's not so unbelievable when you consider the nature of AD and of
GP.

It is unbelievable when you consider Novell has been doing this for years.

We tested a few options as described above, but found a solution that works best for us. We use Limit Logins which can be found here:
