I want to restrict useage to between 2:00 and 3:00 and 6:00 to 10:00
monday to thursday. No problem, there I can get that to work.
with: "net user test /time:monday-thursday,14:00-15:00;18:00-22:00"

But I want to open the system with no restrictions friday to sunday.
I can't get the second day & time range to be accepted.
I've tried:
How do I append "friday-sunday,all" to the above string?
Everything I've tried results in "invalid day" (or time) "range
entered"

TIA

I typed this command: net help user
and received this output:
/TIMES:{times | ALL} Is the logon hours. TIMES is expressed as
day[-day][,day[-day]],time[-time][,time
[-time]], limited to 1-hour increments.
Days can be spelled out or abbreviated.
Hours can be 12- or 24-hour notation. For
12-hour notation, use am, pm, a.m., or
p.m. ALL means a user can always log on,
and a blank value means a user can never
log on. Separate day and time entries with
a comma, and separate multiple day and time
entries with a semicolon.
The key is in the very last word in the above paragraph.

yes, I've seen & read the very same help blurb as well as the
knowledge base pertaining to the NET command. I've done it. Just as it
says. I still can't get a *second* day and time range accepted.

I such cases it's a good idea for you to post what you've
tried. I had no problem at all with this command:

net user test /times:monday,12-13;tuesday,15-16

What does your command look like?

As stated, I'm want access monday - thurs, 2-3:00 and again at
6-10:00. I'm entering this successfully and it works as expected:

"net user test /times:monday-thursday,14:00-15:00;18:00-22:00"

That works OK.

I also want to allow unrestricted access fri sat & sun.
So I enter: (it wraps in my newsreader)
"net user test
/times:monday-thursday,14:00-15:00;18:00-22:00;friday-sunday,all

This results in "illegal day range..."
So, you entered days individually. Is that the best way to do it?

A little bit of experimentation shows that the correct command is
net user test /times:monday-thursday,14:00-15:00,18:00-22:00;friday-sunday,0
0:00-24:00

The help text for the command (what you called "blurb") does in
fact say that the parameter "all" is used ***instead*** of a date/
time range. It reads "ALL means a user can always log on". It does
not say "ALL means a user can always log on on the specifiied day".
