Background: We are a fair sized university. Before any students can use any of the computing resources on campus they have to demonstrate a level of knowledge or take a class (3 hours a week for 16 weeks) on basic computing skills (this class also covers how to use the various pieces of software available to them in the regular computing labs across campus).
The lab we use consists of about 250 workstations. There are usually three full classes run each semester. To simplify things, we have created a communal user for use within the lab. This carries with it certain security risks we are trying to minimize. One thing we wanted to do was to limit the use of this communal user to the systems within the lab. That is, we don't want this user object to be able to log on to any other system within the university (1 domain, 1 site, approx 8000 systems across 18 OU's). Problem: The "Log On To" setting in the user object seems to be limited to 64 NetBIOS names and 1024 bytes of information. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure I've just overlooked something basic. Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.
