Tims ideas are good but also take a cold backup of the database before the read only period starts so that even if someone manages to alter data it can be restored back to its previous state. By the way when you say read only does that apply to batch processes and general system ageing? - if so you need to ensure you back up after each batch run so it can be restored to a fixed position if someone manages to change anything.

always remember "least privilege principle"!!

hope this helps

kind regards

Pete
