Re: Log on the domain

I don't know if there is a policy that forces users to
log onto the domain (I assume you're running Windows
2000 on the server and client end), but if you lock
out through the BIOS accessing any drives save the
NTFS HDD, and you change the local administrator
account to have a different name and password, the
odds of someone cracking it are minimized.

If you're using Windows 98, you can use the System
Policy Editor to force them to log onto the domain or
the local machine is inaccessible to most people. 
However, there are ways around that if the individual
is resourceful enough or experienced with Windows
98...

 Hi there,

How can we enforce the users log on to domain? I
mean: Users can not access
computer using admin or any other account, must log
on the domain
controller. Is there any policy to do that?

Thank all......
