LimitLogin utility

You can also use the LimitLogin utility to limit concurrent user logins in an Active Directory domain in a Windows Server 2003, a Windows 2000, or a Windows NT 4.0 environment. The LimitLogin utility keeps track of all logon information in Active Directory domains.

The LimitLogin utility has the following capabilities:
It can limit the number of logins for each user from any computer in the domain. This includes terminal server sessions.
It can display the logon information about any user in the domain according to specific criteria. For example, you can use the LimitLogin utility to display all logon sessions to a specific client computer or to a specific domain controller. Additionally, you can use the utility to display all computers to which a certain user is currently logged on.
It is easy to manage and to configure because it can integrate into the Active Directory Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins.
It can remotely delete and log off user sessions from the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
It can generate logon information reports in either a comma-separated values (CSV) format or an XML format.
