Mr. Dunbar,
Users cannot login before 6:00 AM. I come in a couple times a week
early to do things (best time is to get things done when there is no
one on the network). We can see the users still logged in and send an
email to the supervisors. We have been doing this for 2 years and we
have the same 10 to 15 people who repeat.
