>
>Step 1: Set Logon Times for a User Account List
>
>Step A: Create a User Account List

>click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
>click Active Directory Users and Computers.
>2. In the console tree, click the organizational unit, or Users folder
that
>contains the user accounts that you want.
>3. On the Action menu, click Export List.
>4. In the Save As dialog box, type the file name that you want in the File
>name box.
>5. In the Save as type list, click Text (Comma Delimited)(*.csv), and then
>click Save.
>6. Edit the .csv file by using a text editor such as Notepad to remove
>entries to which you do not want to apply the logon restrictions. The user
>accounts are listed beneath a heading with one account on each line.
>
>The following is an example of a this file:
>Name, Type, Description,
>Joe,User,,
>Sally,User,Account created for Sally,
>Betty,User,,
>Bob,,
>
>Step B: Edit Logon Hours by Using the Net User Command
>Use the net user command to apply logon restrictions to the accounts in
the
>.csv file that you created in Step 1: Create a User Account List.
>
>1. Click Start, and then click Run.
>2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
>3. Type the following command, where file_name is the name of the .csv
file
>that contains the exported user accounts, and where logon_times are the
>days and times that you want to allow access to the domain:
>for /F "skip=1 tokens=1 delims=," %i in (file_name.csv) do net user %i
>/times:logon_times
>
>The preceding command is one line. It has been wrapped for readability.
>
>NOTE: In the preceding command, there is a space between %i and /times.
>
