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:

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
