I need to limit the number of times a user can log into the domain with the same account. i.e. If three people share the same domain account I only want to allow them to use that account one at a time. I do not want the three people to all log in at once with the same account.
I also don't want a user to be able to log into more than once server at once with their domain account.
I found a tool called limit-login from Microsoft, but I thought there was a way to do this with group policy. I would prefer to do this in GP instead of putting another app on the servers.

Limit logon is one of the main methods to prevent concurrent logons...no way to do it via group policy (it would be nice).
This question also was discussed on another board a few months ago and one of the MVPs there said
"...Some companies are doing this by restricting the share of the home-folder to one session and check in the logon-script whether the home-drive is available if not logout ..."
He suggested that because limitlogon isn't the greatest program ever.
Thanks

limit-login was going to be my suggestion until I got to your last sentence.
There is no way of doing it with Group Policy.
I think a more important question is why do you have users sharing accounts?
