STATUS_LOGIN_TIME_RESTRICTION

The account is outside its allowed logon hours

Active Directory can store a weekly logon-hours bitmap for an account. Authentication can therefore fail even when the password, workstation, and account state are otherwise valid. Time-zone conversion matters because administrative tools may display the schedule differently from its stored representation.

Do not reset the password to address this status. Compare the domain-controller time, client time, configured schedule, and the account’s effective policy. Emergency changes should be audited because widening logon hours changes an authorization control.

What to inspect

  • Read the account logonHours attribute and convert it using the intended time zone.
  • Verify domain time synchronization and daylight-saving assumptions.
  • Review account-change audit events to determine when and by whom the schedule was modified.
