Re: Requiring specific computer to log on

Hi we do have a company policy that stops any other computer than those
authorised bgy the company, and this particular user has been formally
re-advised of the position. However we are a small companhy ( 10 people)
and this user is one of our tutors who works from his home, and we dont
really want to lose him.

if I can simply block his own machine from logging on - that does resolve
the issue. However I do need also to cover the legal side and need to be
able to monitor his logging on.

Exactly which log files should I be looking at,and do I need to open them
thru SBS2003, or are they simply text files that I can informt into Excel.

Many thanks for your continued help on this matter.

Alex
