I set up parental control on a user account and blocked it from logging in from 5 PM to 8 PM.
I ran mmc.exe and added a snap-in.
Then from Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Windows logon --> set action to take when logon hours expire, I selected to lock the user when logon time expires.
I logged in to that account at 4.50 PM and waited to see if it is working. But it is not working. I hid two drives in my system from that user using mmc.exe only and that's working fine. I can't see those two drives, but the locking of the user when the time expires is not working.

You logged into the limited account, correct? What other options are there and have you configured all those options? – Ramhound – 2014-07-24T12:03:55.843
yeah. i configured some of the options. one cannot login to the limited account from 5-8 PM. it's showing you are not permitted at this time. but if one logged in to it before 5 PM, the session is continued though the time crosses 5 PM. – RatDon – 2014-07-24T12:13:14.457
