    If you are mostly concerned about the server, then you can use Scheduled Tasks or the
    AT command to schedule a stop of the server service and then a start of it when
    appropriate. To force users to logoff of their "local" machine you can use the AT
    command, possibly as a startup script, to loggoff the user using something like the "
    shutdown -l "command at a certain time. If this is a domain, there are security
    options in security policy for logging users off from domain smb resources after
    their time specified in their AD user accounts has expired. --- Steve
