Denying access to a computer via active directory
I'm not sure I'm in the right spot, but I'll ask my question anyway. In Windows server 2003 in active directory is there a way to prevent specific users from logging on a a specific computer (not the server, but a computer that is part of the network)? I've found the option that will allow users to "log on to the following computers" but that isn't what I need because I have to add the computers individually and this isn't practical when there are 50+ computers that they can log on to and only a couple of computers that they can't log on to. I need something like "allow users to log on to all the computers on the network except these ones". Where can I find that option or do something like that? Please note that I'm quite new to working with servers. Thanks for any advice.

You could look at applying a Group Policy (or local policy) to the computers that specificies certain "Deny..." settings to users or groups. The settings are in Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Rights Assignment. Deny log on locally Deny log on through Terminal Services Deny access to this computer from the network Tony
