GPO to Disable a Computer at a Future Date

Is there any way via a GPO to disable a computer on a specified future date?
We have students that are issued laptops and if they do not return the laptop
we are looking for a way to disable the machine on a given future date.

Any thoughts/help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

GPOs do not support such a featurethe first thing that comes to mind is

GPOs do not support such a feature
the first thing that comes to mind is scripting using an input file

some process that runs every day by looking at an input file. If a computer
account is specified in the input file will be disable. it it is removed
from the input file you need to decide what to do with the computer account
in AD...Delete it? Leave it disabled? Enable it again? Etc.etc.
