View Full Version : restricting users from accessing a computer.


amoham
In our company, we have a computer that we want only a
particular user have access to. This means we don't want
anyone else in the company have access to it. We are on a
Windows 2000 active directory and all the users are
members of the active directory. Our desktops are running
Windows 2kPro.

Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance.

Remove "NT Authority\Authenticated Users" from the local users group on the
computer and replace it with the user you want to have access (and the
domain administrators group for good measure).

Alternatively, look in the Local Security Policy under Security Settings |
Local Policies | User Rights Assignment | Log on locally and amend as
appropriate.

Make sure you still have an accouunt or group the log in and administer the
machine.

Regards

Oli
