There is no magic setting to do such. You can restrict what domain computers
a domain user logs onto in their user account properties in AD Users and
Computers. To prevent logon to multiple computers you could look at using
the RK tool cconnect but that will require the use of a SQL server on the
network, a client component, and the user can be denied legitimate logon if
he was not able to logoff gracefully the last time. Another solution would
be to implement smart card logon and require user to use smart card and that
the user would be automatically logged off if the smart card is
emoved. --- Steve
