Allow RDS Logon during Specific time of day

Is there a way that we restrict Logon to our Terminal Server so that users can only Logon between specific times...?
We are using windows Server 2008 R2
for example between 8AM and 6PM

You could set up a scheduled task to enable drain mode on the server which will prevent new logons (but not reconnections), This task woud set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\TSServerDrainMode to 2.  No new sessions
could be started but disconnected users could reconnect.  Admins ca still connect by running
mstsc /admin.   Then you would need another scheduled task to disable drain mode, by settinge the above key back to 0.

  • Render at a Specific Time Every Day

    Is there a way to have a specific Final Cut Pro project to render automatically at a specific time every day?
    I work at a CG house, and shots are updated at random intervals, but are always in a fixed, specific location. So by rendering out the project everyday we would always have an up to date complete edit. And by automating it it could be rendered off hours and be ready first thing in the morning for review.

    Or page 548 of Volume III, if you're on Final Cut Pro 5 (FCStudio 1).
    'Main Menu/Final Cut Pro/User Preferences/General tab'
    FCS2 may allow specific time of day, but FCS1 simply lets you set a period of time (while the program is open, but idle). So set it for 2 hours, leave FCP open when your last editor leaves the office.
    This also offers several choices on which sequences you actually want to 'auto-render'.

  • Is there a specific time of day that the BTO iMacs become available for pickup?

    As I am sure many people can relate to, I find myself hitting the refresh screen on my Apple order page awaiting the arrive of a built-to-order 27" iMac (3.4 GHz/ 32GB memory/ 3TB fusion/ 680MX graphics). Question for people with an inside scoop.... do the custom macs arrive a specific time of day (many retailers have scheduled deliveries at specic times during the day). The reason I ask is because if my Mac is only going to become "available for pick-up" in the morning, I will know that after... let's say 10am.. there is no reason for me to keep checking because I will know it won't be showing up on this specific business day, if it hasn't already. Any insight on how this works? Thanks fellow Apple fans!

    Goodness gracious.... Not even 5 minutes after I replied to you, my item became available for pickup! It's like they were listening in! haha !

  • Start a process at a specific time of day

    Is there any kind of a time mechanism that will allow a process to be started at a specific time each day?

    There is not a scheduling mechanism native to LC/ADEP. A valid approach would be to use a cron job or WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to start a batch file that calls a Java class that uses the LC Java API to invoke the short-lived process.

  • Scheduling specific time of day for automatic software updates

    How can one schedule a specific time of day (i.e. between 11:01 pm to 5.59 am when I have unlimited download availability) for an iMac to search for automatic software updates? System preferences only offer frequency, but no time option. If it is possible to schedule a specific time, will invoking the feature override the sleep function, wake up the machine and perform the software update and then let the machine go back to "sleep?" Thank you for all your help.

    to clarify barney's suggestion, the following terminal command will download all available updates and put them in your Downloads folder.
    softwareupdate -d --all
    so what you need to do is this.
    1. turn off automatic software update in software update system preferences.
    2. make a cron or a launch daemon to run the above terminal command periodically at the time of your choosing. to make a launch daemon I recommend using lingon http://tuppis.com/lingon/
    The daemon will only run if the computer is not asleep at the scheduled time so you might want to set to to wake/start shortly before that. this is done in system preferences->energy saver->schedule.
    to install the updates once they are downloaded double-click on the pkg files and follow the instructions.

  • Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?

    Is it possible to schedule updates for a specific time of day like 12am?

    No. If you use Automatic Updates, the apps update when the updates are available. Read this for a little more information.

  • How can I set iTunes to check for new podcasts at a specific time of day?

    Hi guys,
    Anybody know a work around for this? I thought it was just a matter of clicking the refresh button at the time I want iTunes to look for new podcasts, but it doesn't seem to be the case...
    I want iTunes to look for new podcasts at 2 am every day. So, at 2 am, I clicked the refresh button in the Podcasts section in iTunes. It would then say, in the settings, that iTunes last checked for podcasts at 2 am and will look again at 2 am the next day. Awesome, not. Every single time I try this, iTunes always resets itself and decides to look for podcasts at 2:49 pm. I can't work it out.
    So, if anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it! I'm on the latest version. 9.0.2. Thanks for reading.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
    Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section.

  • EA6100 AC1200 Blocking Guest internet access during specific times?

    I see that you can disable guest internet access for specific times but only for specific devices. What I want to do is turn off Guest access for all devices during specific times. 
    I am using this in an environment  where I will have different guests at different times with different devices and can't go in to block each one each time. 

    I think your only option at this time is to manually disable the Guest Wireless network when wanted.

  • Expire all local cache entries at specific time of day

    Hi,
    We have a need for expiring all local cache entries at specific time(s) of the day (all days, like a crontab).
    Is it possible thru Coherence config ?
    Thanx,

    Hi,
    AFAIK there is no out of the box solution but certainly you can use Coherence API along with quartz to develop a simple class that can be triggered to remove all the entries from the cache at certain time. You can also define your custom cache factory configuration and an example is available here http://sites.google.com/site/miscellaneouscomponents/Home/time-service-for-oracle-coherence
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I schedule a task at a specific time of day, every day?

    I am trying to use Timer and TimerTask to schedule an event at specific time of the day. It will basically stop all the logging archive the log file and start a new logfile.
    I am just having trouble with scheduling it for every day at specific time (I am new to java and have not worked with date and time much). If someone can point me to some sample code or show me a brief example I would really appreciate it. I am about to pull my hair.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    hi
    I assume you use the swing class. As you suggest, to schedule an event you have to use a timer. The delay of the timer can easy be calculated using GregorianCalendar objects. Create one for the current date/time by instantiating an object. Create a second and set the date to the next schedule date/time. Retrieve the milliseconds from both objects and calculate the differences.
    best regards

  • Deletion of arrays during specific time intervals...how to get it working?

    i am trying to calculate the average peak values in a systolic pressure waveform during a specific time interval. for example, every 5 seconds, i want to average out all the peak values in that interval and after calculating the average, i want to delete the array of peak values. however, what i am finding is that the array is always 0 if i use the delete array in my vi. therefore, the average is always NaN, because the array is empty and there is a divide by 0 error....
    what should i do? i have been stuck on it for a long time now, thankyou very much"

    It is very difficult to make sense of your diagram, because all the control references are missing, so it is not possible to tell the various data sources apart.
    Where is the data coming from? How do you prevent race conditions between the acquisition and analysis parts?
    Overall, the diagram is overly complicated and very hard to read. For example clearing the array does not require reading the old array, measuring it's length, followed by "delete from array", followed by writing back to the array. Why don't you just wire an empty array to it? Same result! :-)
    You go to tremedous lenght calculating a simple array average, using numerous property reads and indexing arrays inside FOR loops. There is "mean.vi" that does it in one step. (If you only
    have base LabVIEW, it might not be available (?), so use "Sum" and divide by n. No loop needed). To find the largest element in an array, use "Array Max & Min" from the array palette, again in one simple step.
    I would highly recommend going over some LabVIEW tutorials or look at some of the shipped examples. Make yourself familiar with basic programming concepts such as auto-indexing at loop boundaries. An "index array" wired to the loop counter is never needed.
    I suspect that your problem is due to a race condition between acquisition and analysis code, but there is no way to tell unless you include all control references and also the companion VI that gets the raw data from the instrument.

  • Could someone please write a download manager program that allows me to set what time of day downloads can be scheduled.?

    I have a iMac, iPhone & iPad. I am using "Hughes Satilite Internet". We have a very limited download of 425MB. But between 1:am till 5:am I can download freely any amount. Some updates have been well over 1 gig & combination of different updates have been more. Also iCloud syncs with all devises. I would like a program on Apple products that allow me to specify a time to download updates & iCloud syncing, to allow me to schedule updates & music downloads at specific times. This is a needed program for all Apple products. It needs to be built in to the iOS.
    Thank you,

  • Doing something at a specific time of day

    Hi all,
    Basically what I am doing is an alarm clock, to wake me up to some MP3s. It all works fine.
    My only concern is the following:
         private Thread tTimeCheck = new Thread() {
              public void run () {
                   while (true) {
                       cal = new GregorianCalendar();
                       int hour24 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
                       int min = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
                       if (hour24 == JSelectHour.getValeur() && min == JSelectMinute.getValeur()) {
                            playMusic = true;
                       } else {
                            playMusic = false;
                       try {
                            t.sleep(1000);
                       } catch (InterruptedException e) {
         };Is it unefficient to check every second, to see if the time of day is equal to the set time on the alarm clock? It seems to me that there has to be a better way to do this.

    Thank you for your reply.
    This is my thread that plays the music.
    while (true) {
       if (playMusic && jpnl.getAlarmStatus() == 1) {
           testPlay("C:/Documents and Settings/Seb/Desktop/Music/01-nirvana-smells.like.teen.spirit.mp3"); //hardcoded for now
    }testPlay is executed the the entire song plays before the next iteration.
    Next step: I'll look to put this in the taskbar (windows tray / whatever it's called), never done that before =)
    Thanks,

  • Quit an Application at a specific time each day.

    I know how to do something as simple as Quiting an application with AS, but what if I want to run it at say 7pm everyday. Not using iCal.
    Any Ideas?

    You can use the unix-side launchd application to trigger execution of an application at a specific time. In your case you'd want it to launch an AppleScript that tells your other app to quit.
    Programming launchd to do this is easy with an app like Lingon (http://lingon.sourceforge.net/), which provides a gui to set schedules in launchd.
    I use to run two applescripts every 30 seconds and a third one once an hour. Works a treat... and it's free.

  • FDM Script - Set to run at a specific time of day??

    Can you set an FDM script to run at a certain time of day (based on
    server time)? I've currently got a Custom/General script I'd like to
    run once a day at a set time.
    Thanks!

    You need the use task manager for that.
    I suggest you look in the admin guide for more info.
    If I’m not mistaken, you need to enable in the application setting and then you can use it from the tools menu in the Workbench.
