Help... System time jumps randomly

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.misc (More info?)

I have one server which seems to randomly jump date and time, mostly
time. It's as if it just decides to speed up the time for no apparent
reason. This is a Compaq server (PII Xeons, I believe) and aside from
this, it works fine.

It's actually Windows 2000 Server, SP3. I find that if I reboot the
machine, the atomic clock software will resync the time correctly, but
it won't stop it from happening. I've seen other posts here that it
happens under NT4 SP6, so it's obviously not just me and it's fairly
obvious that something is causing the system time to jump randomly and
has been doing this at least since NT4 days.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know...

You can reply to the newsgroup or to the email address in the headers.
Thanks.

The CMOS battery might be getting weak.

Do you know the three ages of man?

1- Tri-weekly
2- Try-weekly
3- Try-weakly

Change your battery... or take viagra.
