I am using Windows 2003 server and connected to 400 or so windows 2000 and XP Pro pc's. Is there any way in the server to prevent multiple logins with the same username? This is a school environment and I am trying to prevent a student from signing on to more then 1 pc with his/her username and password at the same time.
From what I can tell, a 3rd part application might have to be used.
Thank You

maybe you could write a logon script that would either
a)check to see if the user were logged in anywhere else and error out if 'yes'
b) change their right on-the-fly to logon to only the pc they are at

if you like the idea, I suggest re-posting asking for logon script help

Hello All,

Reviewing the above script suggestion, would there be anyone that can assist in coding this script?
Thanks very much

Well this looks great. Any idea if this will work with Xp Pro pc's since this is the OS in the majority of my labs? Also, this does get installed just on my Windows 2003 server correct?

Thanks very much

Ok I just found a web doc on this that does state xp pro compatability. Again, thanks very much to everyone.
