Re: Deny Issue of TS License?

You are understanding my request completely; that's what I was hoping to
achieve but your explanation makes sense (and shoots down my idea).

So how can I make the logon script boot them out as you mentioned before?
I'm guessing that the value CLIENTNAME is being compared to something.

Thanks.
