Hey Jeffrey,

This would be excellent, however I am currently bound by using a login batch
file (login.bat) to execute the commands I require during the login process.
If I could get similar IF statements for batch file processing it would be
great!

Good day,

I am using a simple batch file to set up my users environment (drive
mappings, etc). I currently have login time restrictions on most accounts to
ensure that everyone is off the system while nightly maintenance is being
performed. We recently deployed Exchange and Outlook Web Access to deliver
email to my users. Now if time restrictions kick in the users can't access
Outlook Web Access. I want to change my login batch file to check for the
day of the week and the time of day. If it is a certain day and time the
user should have displayed a message that they are attempting to login during
an denied period, click "OK", then logged out automatically. Can this be
done and if so, what statements do I require?

Thanks in Advance!

There are several VBSCript functions you could use: WeekDay, WeekDayName,
Hour.

dtHour=Hour(Now)
If dtHour >=3 And dtHour <=6 Then
WScript.Echo "Not allowed"
End If

If the current hour is between 3 and 6 (24 hour schedule), then the message
is displayed.

Is this what you're looking for?

You could write a short VBS script and call it from within login.bat. Or
is that not allowed?
