Windows Server 2008 limit concurrent connections

[ToSsMaStR]

Hi, I have Windows Server 2008 and I use it for a file server on my network. I use this server to share various files. I would like to implement a method of higher control of who exactly has access to my files, using usernames and passwords.

I have done a fair amount of googling, and I have seen some solutions using "limitlogin" & "CConnect". Unfortunately it seems the above mentioned solutions require complex procedures using Active Directory (at least to me) or some configuring client-side. I have no access to the client computers.

So far I have managed to disable my guest account and create users via local users and groups. This solution seems to be simple, however I have found that more then one user can connect through a single account/username.

Is it possible to limit an account to one concurrent connection at a single time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's a problem that can never really be solved. Even on Active Directory network, if a user gives their details to someone else, that other person can log in and access said files as well. Using Active Directory, you can limit a user to logging in at certain computers only, and if you limit that to just one computer, it's almost the solution. Without AD, I'm really not sure.

Thanks for the reply,

If a user gives their details, it is fine by me as long as one user per "account".

Anyone else? is there no way around such a problem?
