Simultaneous Logon

[SauM]

How can I limit the number of simultenous logons for a specific user
in windows 2000 server?

this might do it:

Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Double click on the users value in the right hand pane. Set the type to decimal and then enter the maximum number of simultaneous connections. This will be 10 on a workstation
Click OK and close the registry editor

thanks for your help but...
1. I did not find what you said in my registery
2. I think you've misunderstood my question. I want to prevent
from loggin on with another account which is already in use
on our LAN, an account must be in use on only one workstation.
and how can I set various simultaneous logon for various account?
for example I don't want to limit this number for admin, but I want
to limit it for others.

That only sets the number of simoultaneous connections to a share. There is, I believe, an option in group policy to limit the number of concurrent logons. I'll have a look, and post something later if I find it.

Oh, and group policy shouldnt be applying to your admin account so you neednt worry about admin users having limited connections.
