Tinker Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I found this of interest........ Source Microsoft TechNet..Subject: Setting Restricted Login Hours on XP Standalone System I recently had to contact Microsoft Tech Support for assistance on this so I wanted to post the article on the web incase someone else had this same issue. Situation: You want to restrict the logon days / times of a user account in XP and are a standalone machine. Reason: You may wish to restrict teens who arrive home before adult supervision from accessing your broadband always on connection, limit employees to only work hours access etc.. Steps: To Set restrictions: Click Start Click Run Type cmd in the run box and press enter. The following is a sample of what you would type: net user testuser /times:M-F,5pm-9pm; Sa,6am-9pm;Su,6am-9pm Where testuser is the local account name. To Remove Restrictions: Click Start Click Run Type cmd in the run box and press enter. The following is a sample of what you would type: net user testuser /times:all Where testuser is the local account name. I hope someone else finds this useful as I did.

b0r3d Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 cool i am just wondering if this will work in 200 as well since the login system is identical basically.Windows 2k has more of a graphical way of setting these options. I can't remember exactly where it is (as i dont use 2k) but i think its in the user manager located in Administrative Tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThA_FiLeR Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 what if the invidual changes the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 The restriction times are for loging on.That means that you can set times that a user can logon to the computer.The users cannot change the time, because it has to be done from an administrator account.*references are to Win2k. I assume that it hasnt changed in XP, but i could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
