Hello,

I'm not know why this happened and would like to know the logic involved. I
was on the phone and pulled up my system calander to check a date in 2006,
and reset the month to December rather this the current month (November).
Shortly thereafter I rebooted and couldn't log on becuase my computer date
was different than the network date. This is one that I could never figure
out and wondering if anyone has a logical reason for this to happen.

Thank you and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

I'm assuming your computer is a member of a domain? See the "Maximum
tolerance for computer clock synchronization" Kerberos policy setting in your
Default Domain Policy GPO (or have your network administrator check it). The
default setting is 5 minutes, so if your computer time is faster or slower
than the domain controller's time by more than 5 minutes, you will not be
able to logon (authentication will fail). If you have Outlook, it's a much
better idea to 'check your Outlook calendar' because of this issue.

Hope that helps!
