<br />
I would like to set this up and speaking with other members of my team they said it has to be done via Computer and not User, is this correct?<br />
<br />
What is the best setting to configure for this?<br />
<br />
And is there any way to test this on a small set of users or computers to ensure working correctly before roll out?<br />
<br />
Thank you

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD).
