XP Networking Question.

If this is the wrong place for this, please direct me to the correct
newsgroup.... thanks.

My church has a small network, using a server with MS Small Business... each
workstation is running XP Pro.

Each office employee has their own workstation. We want to be able to only
allow access on each computer to the specific user. In otherwords, you will
only be able to access the computer, or the network/internet from your own
workstation.

Right now, as long as you have a valid username/password, you can sit down
at anybody's computer and get on the network or internet. We do not want to
allow this.

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks,
CD

Go into AD Users and Computer and into the properties of each account and
give them login only to the particular workstation that you want.

Connect to your SBS box.
Open active directory users and computers, from control panel,
administration tools.
Find a user, right click, properties. In the account tab, you have a
button, "Logon to...". Click it.
Now type in the name of the workstation where the user can login. The other
workstations will not allow login for the user.

Best regards,
