That's how I originally planned on doing it. The main issue I guess is that this is going to be pushed out via group policy. I have been told that it can be sometimes problematic. 

My other thought was to actually have two services - one strictly for the scheduler and one for the app itself. The scheduler service would then net stop the main service...

I would suggest using the Windows Task Scheduler to start the process at 
the appropriate time, rather than having it always running but idle 
until the designated moment. Saves resources and avoids bugs.
