Can you understand what the problem is here? Is this the
problem on only my win2k pro or yours too?
There are no viruses, coz i tried this on many 2k pro. You
are better. I am Ok with computers, I have read your
replies everywhere. seems you can help me.
Any suggestion?
-Poonam.
MCSE 2k.


Semicolon wont even let me complete command successfully.
gives error and says invalid date specified.
I typed this.
net user user /times:monday-sunday;8am-5pm

and hit enter. It says invalid day range has been
supplied. I changed the ; with a commma and it says
command completed successfully. I type net user user and
it would give all details saying times allowed monday to
sunday, 8 am to 5 pm, ALL FINE. But user will still be
able to log in at 5:05 on system clock. He will be able to
log in and log off til 5:29 PM. Once its 5:31 PM on system
clock, he wont be able to log in.
I am using win 2k pro with SP 4 and machine is updated.

Here is the official KB link on how to restrict user access based on time.

I have never tested how it works to the exact minute. I doubt you have any virus
if this behavior happens on many computers, but it may just be a peculiarity to
that command. I would try using 08:00am-5:00pm to see if it makes a
fference. --- Steve
