Logon hours are set in Win2k at the user level, so you can apply different
logon hours to each user and you donīt have to "cut everyone with the same
blade", but even if you set similar logon hours to everyone, there is a
security policiy (look at the security options section on the machine
policy) to force logoff when logon hours expire. You may apply this policy
to everyone and fiter out managers to keep them excempt of being logged off
when logon hours expire.
Hope this helps,
Robert
