Hi,

I have an office LAN setup that I maintain. I have
recently had to rebuild a win2K client from scratch and
now I have a problem. Everytime I initially log onto this
machine the system time rolls back by 5 hours. i.e. It's
12:00 p.m. on my server and this client shows 7 a.m. Once
this rollback of the time has occurred it doesn't go back
anymore but I'm wondering where this setting is
happening. I'm not infected, I have the correct time
zones defined, I'm not doing anything to this client's
time via group policy. What am I missing here? It has to
be something really simple but I'm missing it.

Please respond.

i have seen that happen when the computer thinks its in a different time
zone than the server. take the machine off the network and login as the
local administrator on the client and make sure it really does think its in
the right zone.
