A brief look a configuring 'Enforce user logon restrictions' policy

The Enforce user logon restrictions policy setting determines whether the Key Distribution Center (KDC) in the Kerberos V5 protocol authenticates every request for a session ticket against the user rights policy associated with a user account. This validation is optional because validating each request is time-consuming and can slow down network access to services.

The possible values for this Group Policy setting are:

  • Enabled
  • Disabled
  • Disabled

On disabling this setting, users will be given access to session tickets for services they don't have permissions to use. So, it is recommended that this policy be enabled.

You can find the policy settings at Computer Configuration > Windows Settings>Security Settings > Account Policies > Kerberos Policy

Enabling the policy setting

Client devices receive a fresh configuration when the next scheduled and successful Group Policy refresh occurs. To enforce these new settings, you'll need to run the following command in a command prompt: gpupdate/force. On the local device, the Security Configuration Engine will refresh this setting in about five minutes.
