From: Gary J. Dikkema on 28 Feb 2007 10:39 it certainly cleaned up the rrrors in the eventlog; but; the time is still wrong and it should have been reset.

From: Gary J. Dikkema on 3 Mar 2007 12:47 Nope! Not that much dude. Somewhere between THREE and FOUR minutes. There's an error in your file, there's NO space between the time server and the x08 setting. I can see the time reset and then it reverts back to the WRONG time.

Yep, could be a typo as I didn't cut/paste the bat file - I keyed the whole thing just for you :-). How about a bios update (or something?), that's really odd to have time go off like that. Like, there's another time server somewhere that your SBS is syncing to? -- Les Connor [SBS MVP] "Gary J.
