Allowing only certain users to login

On a Active Directory domain network is there a way to allow just a group of users to login to a specific machine? If so what is the best way? Step by step instructions would be good. Thanks

Thanks guys, so if I create a small group and put them in the allow but they are part of the bigger group that I deny will they still be able to login?

For example: Tom is part of the "everyone" group thats denied but I created a small group "IT" and he is part of that group as well that I allow. Will he still be able to login?

I hope that makes sense.
