Dear Guys

Thanks to you Rob for ur assistance.
Actually to be more explantory.

I have a created a domain user testuser123 with a password and joined one
xp pc ( machine name is sits ) to a my AD server with no problems and with
the same user (testuser123 i did go to one server and succesfully logged
in.

the local drives C , D , E was all avaliable

then i just did follow jonathan watts reply as below
---------------------
Hi Simon
Open the properties of the user account in AD, go to the Account tab and
click the "Log on to" button. You can restrict what machines a user can
log on to from there.
Jon
-------------------

and then when i try to log in as domain user testuser123 onto the domain
i get the following message

your user account is configured to prevent you from using this computer
pls try another computer

but when i try to logon the domain from the sits xp PC i can login
succesfully.
which is just perfect exactly what i would want

thank you jonathan for this

but i just would like to know if it can be done via a GPO since i have to
do this indiviually for every user.

apprecite your help with some example and details

by the way Rob im a indian working in Kuwait

Regards and Thanks


simon
