Restrict User's Logon

To restrict a user's logon hours , use the net user command. These commands are used from the Command Prompt (cmd). To open cmd, 

• Go to Start 
• Open Run box 
• Type cmd and press Enter. 

Below are some command formats to put restriction on a user's logon hours (enter the desired command in cmd and hit enter to execute it): 

Format 01. This one means this user can always log on.

net user Shine /time:all

Format 02.

net user Joanna /time:M-F,08:00-17:00

Format 03. 

net user Ninja /time:M-F,8am-5pm

Format 04.

net user Echelon /time:M,4am-5pm;T,1pm-3pm;W-F,8:00-17:00

Note: You can only restrict when a user can log on to the system. On a stand alone computer, there is no way to force a user to log off when their hours expire, without a third party script or software.
