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,

Re: restrict program running time

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...?
