NA,

I am not sure that I follow.

In your first post you were asking for help in restricting onto what
computers a domain user can logon. You did not mention any error message.
My assumption is that someone is logging onto a specific computer ( or a
specific group of computers ) and you do not want this to be possible. You
want this someone to be able to log on to computerA and computerB and
computerC but not onto all the rest of the computers. So, we go into the
user account profile and make this change. So, cshultz should be allowed to
log on to the, say, three computers that you listed ( computerA, computerB
and computerC ) and NOT onto any other computer. This is the way that it is
supposed to work. Please remember that you might need to allow a little bit
of time for this to replicate to the other DCs if you have multiple DCs in
your environment ( and even more time if you have multiple Sites ).

You are now trying to do this and you are getting an error message? What is
the error message? You should be getting the "the user account 'cshultz' is
not allowed to log on to this computer" or something to that effect when
cshultz tries to logon to any computer EXCEPT computerA, computerB and/or
computerC.

HTH,

Cary
