Windows Server - SBS 2003 Internet Access for Users

Asked By ColinA

I have a customer who has SBS 2003 Standard, 10 users with XP Workstations,
and is connected to the internet via a Linksys ADSL router...

He has asked me if there is any way that we could setup some form of "timed"
internet access for his users...

For example, he would like them to be able to use the internet between 12:00
and 13:00, but then it to be blocked...

I know there are options with ISA but we do not have that, so what I am after
is a third party bit of software that may fit the bill...

Does anyone know of such a beast?

Regards
Colin

Hi Colin:

I do not know of such an add on for SBS.  Maybe an edge device with such capabilities?
But in general, we have found over the years that it is tough to control
behaviour with IT.  Be careful here, because the next thing will be:

and she cannot do this at lunch as we would have to pay her overtime, and
she cannot change her lunch time becuase..... So can we make an exception
for Susan?."

Followed by:

today, so can we give one to Jane, but just from 1 PM to 2:20 PM for today
only?"
