[OPLINTECH] Assign an IP address via Login name

[JKENZIG]

Hi All,
I wanted to pass this information along to other libraries as this utility
might help solve some issues.  I month or two ago I had the idea that it
would be cool if you were able to assign an IP address to a user as they
logged in and have different users of a PC get different IP addresses.  This
way if I had a workstation in a public area like a training room or an
auditorium that both the staff and public use I could give network access
based on the logon.  I presented the idea to my Windows2000 mailing list and
since no utility exisited one of the programmers on my list actually wrote a
utility for me to do it.  I have been testing it with him for several weeks
and the result works like a champ. 

Some examples of use are you could set your public users to get a DHCP
address and have a specific IP for your staff.  You can use routing tables
in your router to allow or deny an IP access to network logons depending on
the users logon id. It has numerous applications.

Anyways below is the discussion and information on how to get it for FREE.

==================================================

I have to admit I have been using this utility on my workstation for a few
weeks and it works AWESOME!
Worth checking out.  This is an ideal utility if you have for example a
training room, or auditorium PC  where you have both internal and external
users.  The internal users can logon and get one IP and the external ones
can get another IP(or DHCP server information).   You can then use router
access lists for the 2 different IP's to allow or deny what you want.

Subject: [THIN] Assign IP By Logon - new download


Most of you probably remember a few weeks ago Jim asking about assigning IP
address based on user logon.  Well, working with Jim we've developed an
application to acheive this and a few other things to boot, namely
 
-  Assign IP address based on logging on username
-  Customisable IP/NetBIOS etc. parameters by username
-  Post change scripting to allow static route addition etc.
-  In multi-adapter workstations select the adapter that get's changed
-  Specify the users default shell, explorer, custom EXE of even direct
seamless RDP to a Terminal Server
 
Due to the speed of change of this app the doc's have been left slightly
behind but will be updated very shortly.  Anyone wanting to look at this is
free to visit our site and download a copy.
