How do I restrict a User's Logon hours?
You can only restrict when a user can log on to the system. On a
stand alone computer, there is no way, currently, to force a user
to log off when their hours e
xpire.
1) Open Help and Support and type "logon hours" (without the
quotes) in the search box.2) Go to Full text matches and click on
"Net user". See the examples for settinga user's logon hours. Some
examples would be:
net user johnsw /time:M-F,08:00-17:00net user johnsw
/time:M-F,8am-5pmnet user marysl
/time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00net user johnsw /time:all
(this one means this user can always log on)
3) Open a Command Prompt window.
4) Enter the appropriate "net user" command for the user(s) you
wish to restrictaccess for.
If you need to force a user to log off when their hours expire,
you may want toinvestigate Access Boss, from FS Pro Labs.
