Re: A user that only has access to shared network folders



He won't be able to sit down and log on at the keyboard / screen of that
machine, correct.
But he WILL be able to connect to shared folders on that machine across the
network if they have been shared with the correct permissions for him.

This is a fairly standard configuration, and for example is often used on
servers:
Domain users are denied 'local logon' privilidges on the servers, only
domain admins can sit down at the server console and log in. Domain users
can, of course, connect to shares held on the server.

That was my understanding of the OP's request.
