Restrict logon hours by user and location through group policy?

I have a Windows Server 2003 domain with 2K clients and there are several labs that I'd like to restrict access to after a certain time of day. Simply limiting logon hours doesn't help me because I need users to have access to computers in other sections of the building. Is there any way for me to selectively limit logon hours based on workstations or OUs?

Hmm. I'd prefer to not have to buy software, and we're talking about a few hundred workstations. I suppose a script could be written that checks the name of the workstation, as all of the PC's in that lab start with the same characters. For example, all machines in lab 321 are named LAB-321-01, 02, 03, etc. Can you do machine name wildcards in scripting? I was hoping there was something built into windows server 2003 that I was missing, but a script- or software purchase- may be the only way to do this. Any other thoughts?
