You can do it by using a combination of local and domain
user accounts.

If you have a windows 2000 domain, you may grant users
access to resources throught domain user accounts. On
these you can enforce log on restrictions (log on hours).
You then enable the policy to force logoff when logon
hours expire for the domain.

If you want users to still be able to work using their
workstations, they need to do so by using local user
accounts. These will not be affected by the domain policy.
The workstations are in this scenario not members of the
domain. I think I remember testing this for windows 2000
Server and a Windows XP Professional workstation once, and
I think I also remember that it worked :)

Good luck to you
