Limiting Concurrent Connections

Hey folks,

It seems like every few days someone writes to the list and wants to
know if there's a way to limit a user account from logging on more than
once. If you need to prevent users from logging into more than one
machine at a time (because your users share passwords) then check out
cconnect:

===================================
==================================

Cconnect.exe: Con-Current Connection Limiter

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

This tool provides a method of tracking concurrent connections of users
and monitoring what computers users are logged on to a network. It
consists of two components, a client and an administrator.

Con-Current Connection Limiter:

is completely hidden from the end user's view. 
keeps track of all computers that users are logged onto. 
tracks last known user of the computer. 
monitors what logon server users are logging into. 
allows concurrent connection limitations to be set on a per-user or
per-group basis. 
stores all information in a Microsoft(r) SQL Server(tm) database
assigned by the Administrator. 
Requirements
These tools require:

Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 2000 
- Or -

Microsoft(r) Windows NT(r) version 4.0 with: 
Service Pack 4 or higher 
Windows Script Host 
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) 
MDAC version 2 or higher 
Information on all of these can be found at the Microsoft Web site.

SQL Server 6.5 or higher 
Before running the VBS files, CConnect Client must be run successfully
at least once to properly set up the database. Otherwise the VBS scripts
will fail.

Files Required

Con-Current Connection Limiter is not installed by the Windows 2000
Resource Kit setup program. The files required for this tool are located
on the Apps\Cconnect\ folder of the Resource Kit companion CD.

Before using CConnect Client or CConnect Administrator, you must first
install them using the installation programs (Setup.exe) located in the
Apps\Cconnect\Client and Apps\Cconnect\Admin folders.
