Guest Don Murphy Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I installed windows server 2003 r2 SP2 on a new server and promoted to a new domain controoler. Unfortunately it was late and I messed up wit6h the clock by an hour. Now the DC is off by an hour. If I simply change the time in the sytem clock I end up seeing a whole bunch of errors in the event log. Is there an easy way to ajust the system time? TIA, Don

In this case you change only this and it would have no further influence than on the shown time. Best greetings from Germany Olaf
Guest Don Murphy Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Re: Set time on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 Domain Controller I did correct the time on my DPC. But then a lot of errors appeared in the event logs. Is it ok to adjust the clock on a pdc by more than an hour?

Yes, you mentioned that, although you did not mention which errors specifically. you got. > Is it ok to adjust the clock on a pdc by more > than an hour?
