We are an academic institution, with multiple classes, students, teachers, and staff needing access to the internet. In recent times, the network has been over-abused, and no web filter or other piece of hardware or software have seems to lessen the amount of time students waste in the labs during class time with non-relevant surfing.

While we don't have ISA server yet, we plan on getting one soon, but first I was wondering if it is possible for me to write a script to give to teachers that would turn on or off the internet to their lab computers (Done by computer name or possibly student log-on name), much like a light switch. I want to do it this way, since there is no set schedule for any one class on any given day when internet is or is not needed.

If this is a possibility, I'll get the PO in today. I'm just looking for some assurance that my goals are a possibility.

Thanks for any help in advance.
