SYMPTOMS
Windows NT Server does not allow you to limit the number of user logons to a Windows NT Server domain.



CAUSE
User Manager for Domains in Windows NT Server does not support this functionality at this time.

To work around this problem:


 * 1) Run User Manager for Domains and select the user.
 * 2) From the User menu, select Properties.
 * 3) In the User Properties dialog box, choose Logon To.
 * 4) Choose User May Log On To These Workstations.
 * 5) Enter the name of the client computers you want to allow the user to log on (up to 8 workstations).
 * 6) Choose OK and quit User Manager for Domains.
 * 7) Log on to a client computer on the Windows NT Server domain.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
