When you configure a user's Logon Hours, they are prevented from logging on during unauthorized times, but they are not disconnected when their time expires?

To forcibly disconnect the user when their time expires, implement one of the following Group Policies:

Automatically log off users when logon time expires at Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PoliciesSecurity Options. This policy affects the SMB component of a Windows 2000 server. When enabled, the policy causes client sessions with the SMB server to be forcibly disconnected when the client's logon hours expire. This policy effects all the computers in the domain.

Automatically log off users when logon time expires (local) at Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PoliciesSecurity Options. This policy is the Local Computer policy default.

NOTE: See tip 5566 When you enforce logon hours restrictions, users are NOT forced off?
