On Boot If Dead Battery System Clock being Set

[Jay]

Hello

We were testing our system with with the CMOS battery removed and
noticed Windows sets the system clock if it thinks it is wrong. We are
using EWF and hibernation. Windows seems to notice the clock is wrong,
bad year, and it is setting it to the time the system was hibernated.
Is there a way to stop this ? I would rather our application check for
this then I can log the error.

thanks
Jay

Jay,

I am not sure why exactly you need to fix the issue. After all nothing prevents your application from checking the time and syncing
with a Internet time server.

But anyway, you may want to try and set RealTimeIsUniversal flag in registry. Search Google to get more info about the flag.
