Active Directory Help!

I have a domain with 50 users in the same group. They all have access to any computer on the network that has the same domain. Is it all possible to limit certain users access to certain computer registered on the same domain?

I think your best option is remove the "Domain Users" group from the local system Users group, and just add the specific user you want to have access. Better still, create a domain group and replace the Domain Users with that domain group - that way you can easily add and remove users to the list of authorized users later on.

But how would I specify a group, say "SA Group", to be the only one to be able to have access to a computer, say "ActiveComputer" that is part of the domain. Currently, everyone in "Domain Users" group can login and use "ActiveComputer", but I just want anyone that's in "SA Group" to be the only ones to be able to use "ActiveComputer". Thanks again for all the help.

Create a new group SA Group make sure that users that you want are part of that group.

Go to each SA wrkstation My Coputer (Right click Manage) -> Local Users and Groups -> Groups -> Users -> remove the Domain Useras group and add the SA grou
