به صورت پیش فرض همه کاربران می توانند تا 10 کامپیوتر را عضو Domain کنند. برای محدود کردن این دسترسی دو راه دارید. یا دسترسی را از Authenticated Users بگیرید و یا تعداد کامپیوترهایی که می توانند عضو Domain کنند را 0 قرار دهید.
برای روش اول:
1. From the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, click Advanced Features on the View menu so that the Security tab is exposed when you click Properties.
2. Right-click the Computers container, and then click Properties.
3. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
4. On the Permissions tab, click Authenticated Users, and then click View/Edit.
NOTE: If the Authenticated Users group is not listed, click Add and add it to the list of permission entries.
5. Make sure the This object and all child objects option is displayed in the Apply onto box.
6. From the Permissions box, click to select the Deny check box next to the Create Computer Objects and Delete Computer Objects ACEs, and then click OK.
و روش دوم:
Override the Default Limit of the Number of Computers an Authenticated User Can Join to a Domain
You can override the default limit, using either of the following methods:
- Use the Ldp (Ldp.exe) tool included in the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit.
- Use an Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI) script to increase or decrease the value of the Active Directory ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota attribute. To do this:
1. Install the Windows 2000 Support tools if they have not already been installed. To install these tools, run Setup.exe from the Support\Tools folder on the Windows 2000 Server or the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM.
2. Run Adsiedit.msc as an administrator of the domain.
3. Expand the Domain NC node. This node contains an object that begins with "DC=" and reflects the correct domain name. Right-click this object, and then click Properties.
4. In the Select which properties to view box, click Both.
5. In the Select a property to view box, click ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota.
6. In the Edit Attribute box, type 0. This number represents the number of workstations that you want users to be able to maintain concurrently.
7. Click Set, and then click OK
