Limiting Concurrent Logins in Windows NT/2000


{LANG_NAVORIGIN} Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 and NT
By: Gene Burton, 04/25/2004



There are several security issues and administrative headaches that can occur when users are allowed to logon to several workstations simultaneously in a network environment. First and foremost would be the accountability problems that can arise from a user logging into several workstations at once. If the user deletes a critical file or somehow changes a configuration, how can they be held accountable if they were logged into 5 workstations at once? You could never be sure if the user actually committed the action or not. If a user is logged onto several workstations and an offensive e-mail is sent from his account, did that user send it or was it someone else that was using his account? Accessibility problems can also arise if the user is logged into several workstations and simply forgets to log off of all of them.
