Kix would help. Even if you can't keep them out, you could cripple the
app during off hours. Assuming it's a database (all business solutions
are databases aren't they?). You could write a script to boot users
out, and then use XCACLS or some other util to reset permissions so even
if they managed to get in, they couldn't access any data or perhaps key
.exe(s).
This might not be clean to the end user however. I can hear the help
desk call now... "What do you mean it's not supposed to work, I'm in it
aren't I".
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to publish/unpublish an app
from a simple script.

Ron actually has defined exactly what I'd like to do essentially. Limit
access to only a particular published application during certain time
frames. I don't think the KIX menthod you (Ron) suggested would work in
a scenario such as #1 below, would it?

Sure. BUT. I can see two scenarios (for sure with Citrix) that this is
too much.=20
1- only want to limit this to a specific application. Like a money
trading or transferring app that should only be run during banking
hours.=20
2- An app that has a backend that needs to have regular maintenance
(lets say everyday between 8 and 9 pm)
Now in both of these you want users to be able to logon and use other
apps. Just not this one..

Actually there's a policy setting available both in NT 4.0 and Win 2k to
force users to log out when login hours expire.

If you use log in hours, be sure to set up a script to boot the users
out, when log-on time expires. Login hours won't force a user out, just
keeps em from coming back in.

The quick and dirty way to do this would be to set user login hours.=20

Subject: [THIN] repost: limit access to applications via time frame
Hoping to get more coverage on a weekday post here.
Would like to be able to limit access to published applications based on
a time frame throughout the day. I realize this could be done with Load
Manager, but upgrading XPa/XPe will cost a decent amount of money.
($2500)
So if anyone knows of a lower cost solutions, let me know.
