Answer Wiki:
Probably the easiest way to do and manage would be to use Group Policy. 1) Create 4 AD Groups - Group_Room_A_Users, Group_Room_B_Users, Group_Room_A_Workstations, and Group_Room_B_Workstations.. 2) Add all users to Group_Room_B and those users with limited access to Group_Room_A. 3) Add room B workstations to Group_Room_B_Workstations and add room A workstations to Group_Room_A_Workstations. 4) Create new GPO "Group_Room_A_Access" with these options a) Go to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment b) Modify "Allow log on locally" c) Check off "Define these policy settings" d) Click on "Add Users or Groups" and select the newly created Group_Room_A. 4) Hit Ok and Save GPO. 5) Assign this GPO to Group_Room_A_Workstations. 6) At the command prompt, type "gpupdate /force" a) First at the domain controller b) 2nd at each workstation for immediate effect.
