SBS LogOff GPO

[nitrokid]

Hi There

I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a way of setting our server so it chucks client computers off at say 9:30 every night on SBS 2003? . I would do the access hours thing, but I need people to be able to log back on should they still be in the office...Is GP the way?

Cheers

Stu

I'm not sure if this will work but it's worth a try, use the below link to force people off when logon hours expire. You could set it so the deny logon hours are only a few minutes so they can log back on again.

It seems you can only set them in hour intervals so that might not be a good solution.

I think you could do this by stopping somes Windows services. Workstation, Server, Netlogon are possible candidates but this is pretty risky stuff. Needs careful investigating.

What about rebooting the server at 9:30 ?

Bit of a risk of losing work.
