I need to solve an odd problem. We’ve got four servers with different things going on with each. One is an application server. At about 4:30 every day, a process gets run on this app server for which we need everybody out of the system, but the application doesn’t support keeping them out. I need to keep them out using NT. I can’t use Login time policies because
1. They want to be flexible. If they want to let people in on a certain afternoon, they don’t want to have to recreate the world to make that happen.
2. The users need to access the other servers during that timeframe. From what I know, you can’t use Policies to kick/keep a user out of one particular server only.
Another option is to stop the Server service, but that won’t work either because one workstation needs to be running to initiate the process that they start at 4:30.
So, the 200 point question is, how do I kick all users but one out and keep them out during this time???
