Guest Kev Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 One of the Windows 2003 Member Servers within our Domain is keeping its local System Time incorrectly. We have repeatedly set the System Time to sync via net time to one of the Time Servers (Domain Controllers). When we perform this function manually from command line using Net Time, the time syncs to the time server and gives us back a "successful" message. Unfortunantly, we see that the local System Clock stays 1 hour behind even after this Windows Time success sync message. What could be causing the Windows Server 2003 to keep its local System Time 1 hour off, and not update its time based on time received from the Domain Controller?

Did you apply all the DST patches to your servers when they came out? It doesn't sound like it. See http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_DST for more help.

Guest Bob the tech guy Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re: System Time is 1 hour offset after syncing via Windows Time Servic Kev, I am having the same problem as you. My server is set to the correct time zone. I have stopped the time service, unregistered and then re-registered the time service and then started the time service. I then synced the time service and it says it was successful, but alas, it is still an hour behind. This server is my backup server, and now my backups will not run as the time is off. Driving me crazy about now. -- Bob the tech guy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob the tech guy's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/bob-the-tech-guy.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-server-help/1062628.htm http://forums.techarena.in
