Looking for way of limiting logon session to 50 minutes...

I would like to create a policy or script that automatically logs after 50
minutes of use. The 50 minutes would be from the time of logon, not based
on idle session or time of day. Can anyone suggest something?

Thanks,

Peckham

Hi

You will need 3rd party software for this, e.g. the program
"1st Security Center" would maybe cover your requirement:

The powerful feature "User Working Time" allows you to limit working
time for your children , office colleagues , students and so on. You
can define several time intervals and time durations to manage users
working time very easy.

The application in the link below is a lot more limited, but it can
e.g. force a logoff/shutdown at a set time or after a time duration
(but it looks like this is computer based and not user based):

Hey thanks. That's kind of interesting.

I was thinking this could be done using shutdown.exe You could use a logon
script that executes "shutdown.exe -u -t 3000." The problem would be
running that command with the proper rights. A regular user will not have
enough rights, and I am not sure there is an equivalent to "runas."

Why don't you call shutdown.exe with a delay from the task scheduler
specifying that it runs at logon with admin credentials.
