  • BLogon Failure ?User not allowed to logon at this computer
  • CLogon Failure ?Account logon time restriction violation

Explanation

Windows Security Event Log uses specific Event IDs to categorize logon failures. Event ID 530 specifically indicates a logon failure due to an account logon time restriction violation — the user attempted to log on outside of the hours permitted by their account policy. For reference: Event ID 529 = Unknown username or bad password; Event ID 531 = Account currently disabled; Event ID 533 = User not allowed to logon at this computer. These legacy Event IDs apply to Windows 2000/XP/2003; newer Windows versions use different IDs (e.g., 4625 for general logon failure).
