I am running on Windows 2000 Server with Active Directory setup. I have Win95, Win98, and Win2000 Clients. I am trying to solve an issue with the same user logging onto more than one computer. All I want to do is, when a user logs on, my script will check to see if the username is being used anywhere else. If it is, the system will logoff and require a new logon. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Two suggestions:

1. Search the board, as this was covered extensively in previous posts. However, board was updated in the fall, so possibly these messages not available.

2. If possible, can also use User Manager to limit workstations user can login to. More extensive process at start, but more secure method.

The program was made for what you want.

I am a VAR and we have systems all over the State. We are trying to make things as easy as possible for not only us but the custoomer. I came to Kixtart because I could see the possibilies of future use on forcing updates. So......I am trying to learn.

Thanks again for your help.

Select 'Search' from the top right corner of the screen, type in 'multiple logon', chose 'match all terms', select 'All Open Forums', press the 'Search' button. You will receive numerous matches including this link:

Take a look a following topics which handles about "only logging on once"

greetings.

However nbtstat indicates that loads of users are logged onto the server when they have in fact long since disconnected. The only way to resolve this that I have seen is to reboot the terminal server in question.

anyone got any theories on this? or should I get my self motivated, collect some proper data and log a call with microsoft....

Thanks!!! Out of all the bullentin boards I am a member of, this one has been the most productive in such a short amount of time.

$LoggedOnTo=READPROFILESTRING("\\SERVER\NETLOG\@USERID.TXT","@USERID","LoggedOnTo")
OPEN (1,"@USERID.TXT",0)
IF @ERROR <> 0 GOTO "NewLogIn";If file isnot found this must be a new login.
ENDIF
$X = READLINE(1)

$XX = INSTR("$X","@WKSTA");Looking for string on line 2 that = @wksta
IF $XX = 0 GOTO "OFFLOG";Found string. This means user is logged on to another machine.
