OK. Can someone confirm with a doc the info in this
thread? I read on microsofts site and it says a user can
logon 10 times before they are denied. But now i see you
guys say up to 10 users can logon. As many times as they
want. I have just tested the theory and loaded a system
up. Connected to the domain controller. and have now
logged on 15 times when the "Cache accounts" setting is
set to 10. Can someone confirm this ASAP and throw me an
email back.. Thanks everyone.
