Got a request from our security group. New application, that will connect to AD 
to do some provisioning functions (adds, deletes, modifications, etc...). They 
want to know if we can restrict the service account by IP address. The thinking 
is that if the account and password got compromised, that if it was restricted 
to only being allowed from one IP address it would reduce the attack surface. 
I'm not aware of a way to do this in AD. Even with NAP and NPS, I don't think 
you could really do this. As compensating controls we will remove the ability 
to logon locally or through terminal services like we do with other service 
accounts.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
