Set time on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 Domain Controller

[Guest Don Murphy]

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,

Correct the time on the PDC emulator in your domain (likely your previous DC

unless you transferred roles) and either wait, or reboot your new server, or

restart your windows time service.

 

Your workstations could simply be rebooted....

not too many.

You are sure, that you not only selected the wrong timezone instead?

In this case you change only this and it would have no further influence

than on the shown time.

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.

Yes, if you also make sure you're seeing the changes adjusted everywhere

else!
