if you're using AD. in the user properties, there is a ' sessions ' tab that allows active session limits... Idle 
limits, etc...

Try there.

I need assistance with the following query.. My company has a lot of 
remote access users and the problem that I am having is that most of 
my users use their AD accounts simulteneously. What I mean is that my 
users have dialing access and dial back options and what they do is 
they allow their family members to use their accounts during the day 
while they are at work working. So what I want to do is to block or 
allow only single logon for all users on the network. I want my
 system
to be able to detect if the user has already logged on be either by 
dialup or network and deny the 2nd logon. what solutions can I 
implement?

Your users should not give their families access to company resources  as that raises both security and legal problems. 
This is a social problem, which shouldn't be addressed by technical measures alone.

Suggest to your management to write up a policy that prohibits private use of corporate resources and have the users 
sign it. Make clear to your users that repeated violation of said policy will lead to unemployment (also explain to 
them why they should not allow their families to use company resources). Monitor successful logons to detect policy 
violations.
