Hello Is it possible in AD to prevent a person from logging in at the same time with a user & password? I want to prevent 1 person from logging in to 2 systems in Active Directory at the same time. I want to log out of the previous system and log in from other systems. But it can not log in at the same time

    Hi,

    There is no default option in active directory let you to avoid a user to logon on many machine in same time.
    you can create a custom solution to trace the user logon and logoff by creating a shared file when a user logon. Then you create a GPO to launch a a script when user logon and another script when he logoff to update this file and check if the user is already logged when he try to logon:

    Hi,
    As @Thameur-BOURBITA and @udara peiris mentioned , to Limit concurrent user logins, the logon script should be considered.
    For deploying this step by step, refer to the link provided by udara.
