Is there a way to Allow only 1 user to login to Novell?

Hi!

Is there a way to allow only 1 user to login to a PC if
the PC is on the network? I know locally you can create
1 local user account in W2K but if there is network
connectivity then you may use a network id and we want to
limit PC access to one network id login.

Is there a way somehow?

Please advise.

Thanks!

If you don't want users to access a computer from the network, then you can disable
file and print sharing on it which would also disable the ability to manage it
remotely via Computer Management. You can also use security policy user rights
assignments for "access this computer from the network" to limit what users/groups
can access the computer. I don't know of a way to limit network logons to one,
however regular users should not be able to access a computer unless it had regular
shares available and you can set a user limit on shares in the share properties. --

Divatek,

By default, when you join a computer to a domain, you allow all domain
users the right to login to that computer.

Can you create a restricted domain users group, and move all domain
users (save the one privileged user) into that group? Then change the
security policy for that computer to disallow the restricted users
group from "log on locally"?

Cheers,

Chuck
