Question on user security and policies

Spankdacamel4me · 08-13-2007, 08:25 PM

I'm trying to set the allowed logon times for the accounts on my server and and im wondering if there is another way besides the "NET USER /times:M-F,8:00am-6:00pm" command. I was hoping microsoft decided to throw in a gui to control this a bit more simply. Also i was wondering if there is a way to incorporate files, folders, or usernames that have spaces into DOS. How do I use add times to a username that has spaces? I keep getting an error sayign that the username is not found, but the names with no spaces work fine. Is this just a problem from the early DOS days that i get to live with?

Thanks ahead of time,

I think I may have solved my second question by accident. I believe that by putting quotes around the name with spaces, it will accept it as a single name. Havent tested it yet to find out if it works, but got excited that it executed the command so came right on here to post lol
