Guest IT Staff Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Machine is part of domain. We are testing a application with an old license key. We attempt to change the time backwards, but it revert back to today's time. Windows 2003 can do that, why not 2008 ?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Changing time in windows 2008 Hello IT, On a computer that is member of the domain the time relies on the DC which has the PDCEmulator role, all DC's sync with that one and all member servers and workstations will sync with one available DC, because the complete domain time does not go out of sync over 5 minutes. Otherwise domain internal you will get problems. So if you really need to change the time you have to do it on the PDCEmulator or disconnect the server from the domain.
