Time mis-synchronization

I normally do time synchronization on my PC by doing "net
time /setsntp:myserver" to point Windows to an NTP
server. Since installing MSAS I found that my PC time
was off by about 1 minute. Looking more closely, I found
that when I logged into Windows in the morning the PC
time was dead on, but after 30 minutes or so it would
start drifting backwards and by the end of the day would
be 1 minute behind my NTP server. Killing MSAS stops the
backwards drift and eventually Windows corrects the time.

I don't see anything in the MSAS configuration dialogs
about time synchronization, so I couldn't find anyway to
turn off whatever MSAS is doing, or perhaps point it to a
time server that has the correct time.

Has anybody else noticed this?

No. As a matter of fact, I was a few minutes ahead. Internet Time> Update
Now changed the clock from 11:06 AM CST to 11:02. Numbers showing up with
subsequent checks (two) are showing the correction to be... correct.
