True.
If you disable the userid being used instead you do not have that problem and can prevent some problems.
True, but you might want to disable devices also to reduce the potential for guessing user profile names.
If the device gets varied off then no one can log onto that device.
Maybe. Depends on how the device was varied off. The system will vary on a device that is currently varied off if it matches the device requirements of the requesting client. I'm fairly sure the system records (in the device description) whether the device was varied off due to sign-on failures. These devices are not varied on automatically.
If you alow the system to randomally pick which device to use a new user could connect to a device that is disabled and never get a signon screen.
False. The system does not attempt to use a varied off device that cannot be automatically varied on. It skips disabled devices unless the client specifically requests the device by name.
