Unexpected change of system time in Windows 2003 server

Hi ,

I am very worried for automatic changes of system date and hour in a Windows 2003 Server Sp2.

Currently it happens every hour (more less ).
I have changed Local policy for the user and created a new user that is the only one that can change the system date, but the problem still happens.

Could it be a virus?

Regards

Well,
There is no PDC.  It's a LAN connected to Internet with two W2003 servers defined as workgroup servers and about 20 Pc's and printers basically.

The other server (Database server) has a right system date.
The server  that changes the system date is a web server.
It seems that every hour the date-time is changed automatically and delayed about one hour.

He's not using Active directory. It means he doesn't have any DC
Sounds like spyware on the pc's. I'd scan all Pc's and servers for malware.
Hi Enrique,
 glad to be of help.

I don't understand how the TG-TIS's post could be a solution, since you don't have any DC.
Perhaps is related to the part in which he asks you to AV scan all boxes.

Anyway i am happy you found the solution you was searching for.
