Time Zone

[Jerry Fortenberry]

Our domain controller (Windows 2000 Server) is located in Texas. We have
workstations ( W2K and XPpro) on our WAN located from Arkansas to
California. They are joined to the domain. We have an application that
requires that two computers at each location be set to 6 hours earlier than
local time. I need to adjust the clock on those two pc's to 6 hours earlier
...but do it in such a way that the Kerberos Authentication Protocol isn't
offended. What has worked at some locations is changing the Time Zone to a
zone that reflects 6 hours earlier. That does not work in California..... If
I choose a time zone 6 hours earlier, it changes the calendar date. So, it
seems like I need a way to ( perhaps modify the registry) tell that pc to
reflect a time that is -6 hours and ignore the Time Zone...Grasping for
ideas. Thanks

Jerry,

The problem appears to be that you are looking for NTP time based on GMT.
Is there a setting in the Application to use computer time (remove the
conversion factor that is in the program). Or can you point the application
to use a SNTP server as the time reference?

Are you trying to set up external clocks? If so, you need to have a SNTP
server app or point your clocks to a ntp server on the net. I am currently
setting up some clocks in our factory and they were off by 5 hours for the
time conversion (Eastern Time) until I pointed it to this product on one of
our computers. The product I found to use was

The best part is the server portion is free if that is all that is needed.
