Computer clock - time problem

[speckytecky]

Most of the computers I’m looking after are now over three years old. I’m finding that the onboard clock is running at anything up to a quarter hour ahead of real time. The on board button batteries are in good condition so it’s not a problem related to that. Any suggestions please?

Do you get them to sync with the server at logon? Try adding this to your login script.

 

NET TIME \\%SERVERNAME% /SET /Y

Use the w32time section in group policy to sync the time to the server.

 

Login script won't help if kerberos decides your clock is too far out to allow login

Where abouts is the w32time section in gp?

Windows Components -> system -> Windows Time Service.

 

Enable the NTP client

Point the NTP client options to the Domain controller. Just the server name really, other settings can remain on the defaults.

Cheers for that
