Hi, I hope you can help me out.

We have several computers in our business that no one should be on during
certain hours. Is there a way through group policy that we can make these
computers unusable for certain hours?

hi harv,

you could do this by implemention 802.1x Network access protocol and use
windows 2003 IAS as a radius server to enforce the policy. However, you need
at least access switch which capable of supporting 802.1x. Cisco catalyst is
one of many supporting switch

Hi

Not with Group Policy as far as I know.

A couple of 3rd party programs that may work for you:
