how to limit logon in time and place?

Hi,

We work with a reservation system of the computers on our win2000 server and
we want the logon procedure to grant access to the computer if that user has
made before a reservation of that specific computer at that specific day and
hour. He can logon during the whole hour he reserved.
E.g.: user 'John' has a reservation for computer nr 6 from 2pm to 3pm at
friday 09/10/04.

We have a Access table with all the reservation data. Those data are filled
by the users on computers without any limitation of time or place.

Is it possible that the startup script of user 'John' reads the Access table
and then decides to grant access or not? How can this be done?
Is it also possible to logout automatically when the hour is over?

Thanks for any clue
walter

Walter-

You can specify these things in the user's account. You can specify both
logon hours and logon workstations. There is a GP setting to disconnect
users when their logon hours expire.

What I would do is setup your program to populate the data in the user's
account, as the functionality is built in there.

For the original poster: Note that this will only disconnect any
file server connections, it will not log the user off from the
local workstation.
