the user log on acct time when set in the bdc does not match the pdc. let say, in the bdc i set the time 12:00pm- 6:00am not allow to log on, the pdc shows up 1:00pm - 4:00pm not allowed. Can someone please refer me to an article or offer advice on how to resolve this issue. Thanks

It sounds like you may have a time synchronization problem...check to ensure your bdc is set to the same timezone as your pdc. Also, you may want to consider implementing timeservice to take care of synchronization as well. It runs as a service in NT, and can save you alot of headaches. If you have any questions about timeservice, email me ;)

Hope this helps...

If this was a time zone issue, then the time would be offset by the same amount of time on both sides. ie. if it is set from 12pm to 6pm est on the bdc and your pdc was on pst then there it would show up as 9am to 3pm pst.
This looks to me like your SAM is not being replicated. When you change the login hours of a user, go into server manager on the bdc, highlight the bdc and click....
computers/synchronize with primary domain controller then it will ask you if you would like to synchronize with the pdc and you click yes.
Another option you might want to look at is your policies on that user/group/computer...these policies may be overriding any other rules you impose on a user.

As an aside to what the previous poster was alluding to...synching the time between the 2 servers.
From the dos prompt on the bdc type:
net time \\pdcservername /set
