I have a server whose onboard battery is bad. If it loses power and comes back up, the date and time are wrong. The server boots up and appears to work, however, I cannot connect to it via RDP because of the significant date difference.
This happens because, for the security certificates to validate, the date between the server and client must be, at least, "close". Also, with it being a domain controller, this time issue could cause the whole AD domain to be unable to authenticate.
Honestly, the Windows Vista and Windows 7 time and date configuration is very similar. By double-clicking on the taskbar clock you will bring up the Date and Time configuration where you will configure the date, time, timezone, additional clocks, and Internet time. The only difference that I could find is the reminder for daylight savings time. In Windows Vista, the default is to Remind me one week before this change occurs. With that setting, of course, you would get one week advance notice before the clock "springs forward" or "falls back".
Figure 1: Windows 7 Date and Time Configuration. I do not think that one week notice is very helpful. Surely, you will forget that it is going to change the time one week later.
Microsoft must have felt the same way because in Windows 7, they changed this to just Notify me when the clock changes. Thus, you would just be alerted that it has changed. That is fine with me. I do not think that most of us need a one week notification. Top Searches on. Singapore Jobs. Microsoft Windows Vs. Linux - the Fundamental Issue. Microsoft Great Plains Implementation in Russia.

Microsoft Xbox. Good morning, Alex. This is a pretty quick and easy solution for setting that up. Verify your account to enable IT peers to see that you are a professional. I completely agree. There are plenty other external time servers to choose from. Feanor May 8, at UTC. Thanks All! Thanks Alex, for the detailed steps. Your method worked for me on r2. Glad it worked out for you brianm3. Mel was a great help with his earlier post. Also, make sure you open port on your routers in the dmz to accept time protocol from the outside.
