Restrict Logon Time (XP Pro standalone no server)

[Guest]

Hi
I need to restrict the logon times for users. I know how this is done using
a server but can not find how to do same on a standalone pc. Can not connect
this to a server of other pc must remain standalone.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thanks
Karl

not without 3rd party software like Access Boss
(http://www.fspro.net/aboss/) and I'm sure there are others to be found when
you google for something like "restrict logon time" or similar.

From the Command prompt, use the NET USER /TIMES command.

You can find the sytax in the Help and Support on Windows XP Pro or entering
the command on your favorite search engine should work as well.

I don't believe this works on WinXP Home Edition, though I've never tried to
do it myself.

Forgot the obvious
Go to Help & Support and look up the NET USER command.
It has an optional parameter (or option if you like) called /TIMES:
<brief excerpt>
Specifies the times that users are allowed to use the computer. Time is
limited to 1-hour increments.

Hi All

Many thanks your assistance. FYG I found this last night, and if you set a
schedule or use system scheduler www.splinterware.com you can force log off
and apply the net user comd as well.

net user kelly /time:M-F,08:00-17:00
net user kelly /time:M-F,8am-5pm
net user kelly /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00

To cancel and/or clear: Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: (Use as an
example) net user Kelly /time:all
