Re: How to block SOME remote users while allowing others?

hi!

a very simple solution would be this:

use reconnact.exe to log the current ip client of the user that
connects to your terminal server in the form of an environment
variable.
you need this tool because the standard variable given by microsoft is
not updated in case the user disconnects from the corporate computer
and later reconnects the session from a home computer. the same goes
for the computer name.

this way you can add this command to your current logon script and
also create a connection and disconnection logon script.
then, you can trap either the ip address or the hostname.
if the ip address, or the hostname, does not correspond to your
corporate environment, just execute logoff.exe with a msgbox "you are
not at work, watch a movie or eat a sandwhich or have fun with your
girlfriend" or something similar ;-)

hope this helps.
bye

I have a situation that I've not run into before. Owner is using thin-
client devices to connect to their terminal server, but they are using
their home/laptops to remotely connect to the terminal server when
outside the office also.

The problem is that they don't want the internal users that also use the
thin-clients to be able to connect from outside the office, but they
want manager users to connect from inside or outside the office...

I don't know of a way to limit "Some" users access to RD where I can
pick inside/outside the network, except though a firewall, but they
don't have a firewall that permits that type of authentication.

Any ideas?
