RE: howto let asigned user login destinated workstation

our company have several lan's cross-linked
we have more than 50 users
among them we have 5 workstations

our [server admin] give them the rights to login every workstation i.e. any
user can login any workstations

that gives our office a very confused situation to control

I am now trying to assign the users to several groups
i.e users 1-10 use workstation 1 and 11-20 use workstation 2 and so on

now I have only the administrator passwords of those workstations

can I set those workstations and let only users 1-10 login workstation 1 only
and users 11-20 login workstation 2 and so on......

thanks

The short answer is yes with a floating profile - any system administrator
worth his salt should be able to write one. Some smaller companies will hirer
less skilled (or non-certified) system administrators to save money. They may
be very good at the exact day to day job of what the company needs done, but
are not fluent in all areas of system administration. If you have a guy you
like, send him to school to be certified if he is not.
The real questions is are you going to limit resources to each group? You
may be really setting up your network for failure. Two schools of thought for
Client/Server networks. First, people centric: This is where you sound like
you're taking your network. Each group has access to their own data and
resources on their own server with very limited access to anything else.
Second, data centric: This is where data is stored in specific places and
secured with privilege. Each person has specific privilege to access a
certain level of data. This sounds like what is occurring right now in your
group (or atleast should be).
Currently, data flow is dispersed through out your network. The only network
slow down you get is an actual server is accessed too much. When you
concentrate people per server, the data flow between servers will increase.
You'll start to get network slow down because the data is crashing in the
lines between servers. Ever get your internal email system working real slow?
It'll be slower when you try to funel 10 people through the same line between
servers.
All of my assumptions are based on a person that knew what they were doing
when they first put the network together. If the network just grew
haphazardly while your company grew, then maybe it is time for you to put
some organization into it. Talk to your system administrator and the guy who
controls the budget and possibly the manager of the old system adminstator
who put this together in the first place and discuss the reprocussions of
what you are attempting to do. The last thing any of us wants is to hear
endless complaints of how the system was better before you changed it.
Hope this helps. If you still need to make floating profiles, just search
for it using your favorite search engine. There are probably dozens of free
tutorial websites.
