Question

Sunday, September 24, 2017 2:41 PM

When setting time limits for my child's account, I can successfully change a uniform time across multiple days, but I cannot successfully add a second time limit on the command.  Please see an example below.  Any tips appreciated!

PS C:\Windows\system32> net user panda /time:M-Su,7pm-8pm
The command completed successfully.

PS C:\Windows\system32> net user

User accounts for \DESKTOP-SE89593

The PowerShell prompts gets confused by the command it appears (same when I run it in a PS prompt).

From an admin command prompt it works.
