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 expire.
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
setting a user's logon hours. Some examples would be:
net user johnsw
/time:M-F,08:00-17:00
net user johnsw /time:M-F,8am-5pm
net user marysl /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00
net 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 restrict
access for.
If you need to force a user to log off when their hours expire, you may want to investigate Access Boss, from FS Pro Labs.
