Novell Login Time Restrictions failing

[NotDoneSam]

I'm having a problem with Login Time Restrictions in Novell. If I set the time restriction for 12:00 and try to login at 12:05 it will not let me login and will give the the message that I'm unauthorized to login at that time.

The Facts:

This only happens at remote locations, not the central office.

All remote locations are in the same time zone.

All remote locations are in the same tree but different contexts.

Client version, 4.91.0.20050216

What I've tried:

Login into the central location's server.

Login as a user that is in the central location's context.

Set time manually on the failing location's server.

Not sure what else to try to fix this, I'm stumped at this point and any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Scott, the fact that you said you set the time manually on a server concerns me.. You typically shouldn't have to do this at all. But this tells me that Timesync on your network might not be working properly, which can cause some serious other problems.

Make sure that EVERY server on your tree is time synchronized and has the right time zone settings. Do a TIME at the server console and make sure it says that Time is Synchronized. do a DSREPAIR --> Time Synchronization and make sure all servers report YES. If any of these show that time is not synchronized, you need to fix them.

Also, I would do a full NDS health check.. check on Novell's knowledgebase for instructions.

Timesync is working fine. I did a manual entry to see if it had anything to do with timesync. The time is correct on all the servers again and are synced up. Thanks for the help though.
