Re: Restricting User Logon with Group Policy



You need to modify the security privilege called "Log on locally". It can be
found under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local
policies\user rights assignment.

By default, a lot of accounts are granted this privilege, e.g.
"Administrator", Power Users, Users and so on, depending on your current
configuration. Basically, you need to modify it allowing only Administrators
and your user account to log on locally, removing all other entries from the
list. But you might need to keep some groups or accounts depending on your
security model.
Then just apply this GPO so it affects all computer accounts where only this
user should be able to log in.
