Time based DNS settings

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

Kind of an odd one.

Windows 7 laptop being used at work. OpenDNS settings to limit what they can and can't visit during work time as there was a lot of time wasting going on.

One girl has agreed to work from home over the weekends and evenings but wants to use the work laptop which has been agreed by management

The problem is, it's having some sort of DNS issue at her home so I've had to take the openDNS settings off, and within an hour was already booking holidays during work hours.

I need to change the admin account as the old IT guy gave her the password for it and turn off sticky keys, but, is there any way I can automatically set DNS settings depending on time and date or location/IP?

Thanks i'll look into DHCP, it's all a learning curve to me. The main reason I went route of individual machines and changing DNS was because 90% of the laptops in the business are home edition, we have no windows server/group policy etc and there is only the one department we want to block.

And no, it wasn't just hers but the entire call centre.

As for out of the door, they have waste over 260 man hours in the last 3 months on quiz's, and on one day the network was up and down 50/50 for the day, they wasted an hour doing a quiz while it was up. Then I was threatened for mentioning it... #wasteofspaceteam.
