Is there any way to prevent a user on a domain from using his domain login
at specific computers?

We have one user here who has a habit of logging in and using computers
anywhere in the building, just because he feels like it. I'd like to find a
way to prevent that.

Sort of. You can restrict his login to certain NETBIOS names. So you
could restrict him to his own computer and a few others. Check out the
account properties in AD.

You could write a logon script that checks the NetBIOS name (or IP
address if its fixed) of the workstation as the user logs on, and if
its not one he's supposed to use - stop the logon.

Actually, when I would do is first post a message to the screen saying
why his logon is being stopped, then logoff the account.

When I was working in education, I wrote a sript n Kixtart
http://www.kixtart.org/ that did something very simlar, it logged all
logon/logoffs to ini files on the server, then if a user was already
logged on it wouldnt let them logon anywhere else without an additional
password.
