You'll have to do it from the command line:

Type [b]net user username /time:logon_times [/b] and then press ENTER.

It uses fairly simple syntax:

Days are abbreviated - M,T,W,Th,F,Sa,Su and you create a range with hyphens i.e. M-F.
Hours in 24-hour notation is easiest with hyphens to give a range i.e. 08:15-17:30.
A value of all means that a user can always log on.
Do not use spaces between days or times.

net user Neil /time:M-F,08:15-17:30

For a bunch of users, put the names into a text file and then type:

for/F %i in (userlist.txt) do net user %i /time:monday-friday,08:00-17:30

Don't forget to enforce login with a GPO.

Be warned, though, that this is absolute guesswork as I've never tried it other than using whole hours so let me have some feedback and a thumbs up if it works!

Neil :D
