Hello Acers,

This is what I would like to have happen:

I want to able to send out a Group Policy that would disallow users to
logout on a specific day at a specific time i.e. every Friday from 5 to 7 pm.

Is this possible?

Because every Friday, the computers need to remain on so that Norton can scan
for malicious behavior. Some people keep forgetting to either keep their
computer on or logged in. I am tired of reminding people of these most
things. Therefore, if a policy was enforced there would be need for any more
concern.

This is where you need Wake on Lan. There's an extension to SMS, or roll
your own, or a third party management tool like Altiris,

Thank you your prompt response.

I will look into all of these options. Am I right to say that SMS stands for
Systems Management Server?

Would l be able to create a script that make these computers function the
way I want them to? (see below)

Google for Wake on Lan or WOL and you should find plenty. Basically it's
free if you want to do it manually, or write your own script, and you pay if
you want features. It deals with the problem you are talking about, but it
does it by turning the computer on if it's off.
