Hi,

Does anyone know how to make a Windows XP workstation only allow one specific active directory user log on to it? I'm sure it's possible, but just can't remember how it's done! Doh! :p

Thanks,
Daniel Murfitt

Start/run - gpedit.msc
Navigate to:
Local Computer Policy
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
User Rights Assignments

Change the value for "Log on locally" to the name of the user you want as the only one to logon. Remove all others...

As a just in case, you might want to allow more than one person to access that terminal locally. Just something to think about :)

Hope this helps.
