Can you set a policy,so that a user can log onto your local home computer and only be able to use thatcomputer during certain hours. I know that with NT you can set the hours after you get the menu when you control alt delete. This is windows 2000 Pro machine. I can do it on the server but have failed to find it on Professional. A user asked me this question and I have searched technet and every resource I can find but nowhere does it tell you how to do this in professional. Can it be done.

I also tried to do this. According to MS support, it is not possible in Win2K Pro.

I don't know that there is an officially supported method.

There is a sneaky workaround in that you can use Task Scheduler to run a batch file that disables your network services at a certain time and re-starts them again at a future time. It requires some kludging and Resource Kit utilities but it can be done.

Ah, but is it worth it?
