Shawn, very unfortunately, asks:

I'd prefer to say: no
But, if you do decide to do this *VERY UNWISE* action...you do it
via SYSGEN:
:hello manager.sys
:sysgen
mi
sy enforcelogonudcs=on
or, preferably:
sy enforcelogonudcs=off
ho
exit
k
exit
and reboot, with "start norecovery group=config" (or whatever group your
config is in)
Ok...*why* am I so against this?
You're keeping out exactly and only one user: the system manager. That's all.
Well, I have news for you: the system manager is an important user,
who darn well better be able to logon when your logon UDCs are screwed up!
I've had to dial in and rescue users a number of times over the years...
generally with success.
The two times this year that I actually *failed* to help the user was when
they had done enforcelogonudcs=on.
It's exactly like putting unopenable security bars on your windows
at home...a cheap and incorrect solution to a problem ... one that could
cost you much, much more than you will ever save!
