+# LockIfOutOfLogonHours - Lock Windows User Desktop When Logon Hours Denied
+
+LockIfOutOfLogonHours is a small utility to test if the invoking user is within permitted logon hours or not.
+
+If not, the utility locks the user desktop, locking the user out but not killing users' work.
+
+If logon hours are to expire within 10 minutes, a prompt is displayed encouraging the user to finish her/his work in time.
+
+## Running
+
+Use Task Scheduler to schedule the `LockIfOutOfLogonHours.exe` to run periodically as the interactive user.
+
+Active Directory allows configuring logon hours rounded to the whole hours only. Therefore, it makes sense to trigger the `LockIfOutOfLogonHours.exe` to run:
+
+- Sometime before the hour is out (up to 10 minutes before the hour is out, e.g. 0:55, 1:55, ..., 23:55). This trigger notifies the user.
+
+- At or just after the hour is out (e.g. 0:01, 1:01, ..., 23:01). This trigger locks the user out.
+
+A sample task XML to be imported in Task Scheduler can be found in [`samples\LockIfOutOfLogonHours.xml`](samples/LockIfOutOfLogonHours.xml).
+
+## Building
+
+Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 is required.
