restrict program running time

[Guest lesniak81]

Hi,

 

Is there any way to specify that a particular app can't run for 2-3

hour during a day.

For instance: restrict Outlook between 11:00 am and 14:00pm.

(Windows 2003 terminal services)

 

Regards,

No, nothing native.

The only methods which come to mind aren't pretty:

use one Software Restriction Policy to allow all applications

except Outlook, and another GPO to allow all applications. Then

schedule a script which changes from one GPO to the other.

 

Or schedule a batchjob which changes permission on outlook.exe,

denying users the right to execute it.

 

But personbally, I don't think that I would use such a trick if it

wasn't absolutely neccessary. What exactly is your problem? Why do

you want to restrict usage like this? Are you having performance

problems, or...?
