Limit domain user accounts to one logon

Problem: Many users are logging on using the same account and passing
messages through the home area.

Is it possible to limit a users account so that account can only login to
any machine on the domain once and subsequent concurrent logins are denied?

e.g -----------------------------------------------------------------

USER_A logs onto MACHINE_X

another user tries to login using the same USER_A account on MACHINE_Y but
is denied until the first USER_A logs off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I seem to remember in my days using Novell 4 that this was easily achievable
- can it be done under Windows 2003 Server and AD.

Thanks
 
Logon restriction is supported in Netware but not Windows. You need to use
logon workstation attribute to control user account hard code to specific
machine name(s).
