Hello all.
I'm new to this list. I'm planning on moving to Europe in a couple of
months, and after becoming acclimated, I think that because of my computer
knowledge and love of coffee, a cyber cafe would be the best business for me
to enter into.
Because I'm starting with a limited amount of capital, I'm looking to
minimize cost. I also don't want to place any restrictions on the way the
computers are used. I plan on having a ghost image of all the systems on a
networked server, so short of opening the machine and breaking stuff, I
don't see how my customers could do much damage.
I imagine a scenereo in which there are ten or so computers all running
windows 98 and my server running either NT 4 or 2000. The customer
purchases a certain amount of time, and they are given an account on the
domain. Through registry policies, the win98 system will not allow anyone
to login to the computer without a domain account. I realize that this
isn't perfect security, but I expect my cafe to be staffed with geeks most
of the time, so abuse would be difficult.
Does anyone know how to do a forced logout when the allotted time units run
out? That's the only restiction I'm looking to implement. Any other
comments?
Thanks,
Chris Kotrla
