Set up a logon time restriction in Windows 2008 Domain
created by ares, 08. 03. 2012Some users log on to the network and then don't log off for months. This is a prominent security hole, as when that user leaves her desk, she still is authenticated to the network with her credentials. Malicious people can use this to do destructive things: delete and transfer files, plant a "root kit" or backdoor program, or change passwords.
You can make automatic logoff work in two ways: first, each valid user needs to have a time when she is not permitted to log on. This can be sometime in the early morning, perhaps 3:00 to 3:30 a.m. Then, a change to the local security policy needs to be made so that when the user's logon time expires, she is not permitted to log on.
To set up a logon time restriction on a domain controller for an Active Directory-enabled domain, follow these steps:
- 1
Go to the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.
- 2
Expand the icon for your domain and click the Users container.
- 3
Right-click a user and select Properties.
- 4
Click the Account tab, and then click the Logon Hours ... button.
- 5
Select the appropriate region of time in the calendar block, and click the radio buttons to the right to either permit or deny logons during that time.
- 6
Click OK, and then OK once more to exit the user property sheet.
