Restricting User Logons

[sLiDeR]

I want to restrict user logons to one connection only per user.

Do I need to write a script for this or can I enforce it via AD?

You really need LimitLogon.

There are numerous threads if you search, including this one:
Limit Logon

LimitLogin is incredibly cumbersome to deploy and administer.
It:
- performs an irreversible Active Directory schema modification
- requires an IIS server
- does not come with an integrated deployer
- does not support Windows NT 4.0 domains
- does not provide E-mail and popup notifications
- does not log lock/unlock events
- does not allow to define login limits by group
- does not allow to customize messages displayed to users
- does not allow to set workstation restrictions
- ...

As an American friend of mine once told me: “LimitLogin looks like a Rube Goldberg’s machine”…



You should have a look at UserLock.

You should have a look at UserLock.

If he wants something simple, paying £2.50 per licence might be abit much.

Although if you have the cash, userlock is a quality bit of software.

True - but it is free and (at least for us) does work
