Limiting time on computer

Hi all,

I am setting up a domain W2K server at a camp that is allowing campers to use some computers to read emails and surf the web.

The issue is that some campers tend to hog the computers going for hours without stop.

We need to set up some way that limits when and for how long a session can last. I have checked the literature and determined that group policy can limit when someone can log on, but not for how long they can stay on.

Is there something or some way I can do this?

thanks

Nate

Unfortunately, it is not possible without some accounting software, usually used in internet caffees, you could try to find somethig like that.

Found a link to this program at www.nonags.com

I don't know if it has a limit to how many users. But it looks like it performs the desired task.

you need to use AD in the W2KS and join any computer that is used by the campers to the domain then create guest acounts for them on each account set the time they can logon and set the time when you want them off in Active Directory Computer and Users I hope this helps you
