Just wondering how you can prevent users from havin multiple logons in windows 
2003. It was easy with NT4.0. I am sure it is easy with 2003, but just havent 
figured it out yet.


Thanks


Patrick

I guess a nudge in the "proper" direction is all you can do. The rest is up to 
them. 8-)

I've worked as a teacher with pupils age 14-16 for about two years at a school. 
I haven't met anyone that knows anything about a career plan, much less a pupil 
that listens to anything a grown-up suggests about something that's years ahead 
in the future. Their attention-span is minutes ahead of the moment, if that. 
I'm generalish I know, but it's still a rather significant fact. ;-)
