I would like to know how to limit the number of concurrent logins on a W2K server. Is this done through policies? If so where??

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:
