I have a machine that is part of a large company domain. Due to the needs of a software application, I need the System Date to be set exactly 1 year earlier than current. The problem I'm running into is that Windows Time is constantly reverting this date back.<br />
<br />
I understand I can stop the Windows Time service, and it would not sync time with the network. But how can that adversely affect me? Are there any other easy solutions?<br />
<br />
Please note that I have no access to Active Directory or domain settings, only Admin rights to this machine.
