The Michigan State University uses UserLock to stop students monopolizing shared computing resources. Because native Active Directory allows multiple logons from the same user, a common problem existed where students were able to logon within a lab to several workstations at once. They were doing this to reserve seats for friends who were yet to arrive at class. Uncontrolled simultaneous logins also posed obvious security issues. Limiting concurrent logon sessions is not supported natively in Active Directory. A third party solution was therefore needed that could enforce this restriction and allow both administrators - and users themselves - to remotely logoff any existing sessions. "We’ve been using UserLock since 2013. It is a great product. It is easy to install and very straightforward, the online documentation is great. We can rely on the software and don’t need to check it every day. It does the job we need it to do. If you need an affordable, stable method to create functionality that Active Directory should already have built in, I would definitely recommend UserLock.” Matt Hale, IT Administrator @ Michigan State University Read the full case study here More info about UserLock here
