If you want to restrict a certain user to login a computer in between certain time in case you run a business than the following trick will help you. To restrict a users logon hours , use the net user command. These commands are used from the Command Prompt.
Go to: Start > RUN > and type cmd
Below are some examples that you can use:
1 - net user Naina /time:M-T,08:00-17:00 (In this case user Naina is allowed to login between Monday to Friday, in between 8 AM to 5 PM)
2 - net user Vishal /time:M-F,8am-5pm
3 - net user Gates /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00
4 - net user Shine /time:all (this one means this user can always log on)
Note:You can only restrict when a user can log on to the system. There is no way to force a user to log off when their hours expire, without any third party script or software.
