Scheduled password lock screen for all employees

Hello

I work in a office where my manager requested me to make something which would auto lock screens of all employees for a limited time and the password to unlock the screen should be only known to manager once that limited time is over all the employees should be able to unlock with the password of administrator

Thanks & Regards

Thank you for your post! Since this issue seems more related to Windows and not AzureAD sign-in logs, I've added the "windows-server" tag to this, so the community experts there can take a look at this issue.


Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.

This really goes against the core of windows security and frankly sounds impossible.

Hello,

I am afraid that your manager’s demand can’t be achieved.
Remote lock other users’ screen for a period of time is an unsafe measure, if your manager can do it, other hacker or malware can also do it. Please understand. Maybe some third-party security software can do the similar thing such as lock some computers but can’t meet your another requirement.

Is there anything that could just stop a particular software at the time when office hours overs after giving a prompt message of 5 minutes then blocks the software for a set period of time

Nothing native to do this. You'll likely need to custom code something to get this functionality.
