Having correct time is important,be it in life in general or Windows in particular.
In a domain based environment,there is something called as a time skew which means that if system clock on a client Windows machine is not in sync with the time on domain controller by more than 5 minutes,kerberos authentication will fail and domain user can’t logon to that system anymore.
There are few useful commands that can be used quickly to see what time zone is being used and synchronizing the time on local Windows system to that of any of the internet time servers.
First we take a look at what time zone our Windows machine is in by going to command prompt and typing : w32tm / tz
Synchronizing our Windows machine to the accurate time of any internet time server (of course,the computer needs to be connected to internet for this),can be done by typing – w32tm /resync.
All done,remember time is precious 🙂
Peace.
