Microsoft network server: Disconnect clients when logon hours expire
This security setting determines whether to disconnect users who are connected to the local computer outside their user account's valid logon hours. This setting affects the Server Message Block (SMB) component.

If this policy is disabled, an established client session is allowed to be maintained after the client's logon hours have expired.
