Re: Restricting few users only to logon to a PC in a Windows 2003



Haroon,

I would suggest that you listen to what young Mr. Desmond is saying.

Let's say you work for a media organization [know anyone who does that? ;-)]
and there are five people who keep on logging on to computers in a specific
department. Let's say that this is really annoying and not allowed.
Furthermore, let's say that these five people really do not care about what
anyone says because Daddy runs the company. So, you would create a security
group, make those five user account objects a member of the that security
group and then apply the "deny logon locally" to that group. Let's say that
all of the computers in that department are located in one OU...create the
GPO and link it to that OU. Reboot the computers. The next time that any
of these five guys try to logon to any of the computers in that Department
they will be informed that there is a policy in place that prohibits them
from logging on to this computer....

HTH,

Cary

Dear Brian,

I am talking about logging on to the domain on this PC and not locally.

Haroon-

Check out the allow logon locally policy and deny logon locally policy
setings - you can use one or the other to control who can login to the
machine.
