        It is an interesting concept - but i don't see it being implemented often.

        I have however locked down access to certain users to certain PCs - but it was for a Computer Lab - the Student User was limited to only being able to sign in there.

          Thanks. Looks like I'm ok to give it a miss then.

          Moving on, how about LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution)?

          I have to confess my attitude towards local admin accounts has been lax at best, and I need to change. I don't know whether to implement LAPS or just store local admin account passwords in Keepass or similar (or even Excel).

                We set-up all computers with the same local admin account and secure password e.g. LOCADMIN - ImSecure!12
                Only the IT Team know this and it isn't written down anywhere.

                  Pretty much the same here, but it's a really bad idea.

                      Virginia State agency goes beyond the 'LOCADMIN - ImSecure!12' in that they change ALL Admin creds every 30 days.... what a pain
