Understanding users and their computers
Updated: August 21, 2008
Applies To: Windows SBS 2008
In Windows SBS 2008, users can log on to any computer on the network if they have:
A Windows SBS 2008 user account.
Permissions to access a computer.
Therefore, it is recommended that you create a user account within Windows SBS 2008 for each user who wants to access computers on the Windows SBS 2008 network.
After you create the user accounts, you can allow a user account to access multiple computers on the network, or allow multiple user accounts to access a specific computer.
