We had the same problem here and did not come to any conclusions.
For now we have written a little logon script which writes a lock into 
the $home of the user like this ...

:test
if not exist \\path\logged.in goto login
logout.exe

:login
echo lock > \\path\logged.in
...

... together with a logout script which deletes the lock. Anyway from 
time to time we run into trouble if a users machine has a blue screen 
or something so tha admin has to delete the lock manually.

We thought about locking the user to a collection of single machine 
(which is possible since NT4) but not sure if this really helps.

bis dahin/kind regards
