Unexpected change of system time in Windows 2003 server
Posted on 2013-01-07
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
Enrique Gómez

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.

hi, probably you are using a wrong timesource in your ntp settings OR you setted a wrong location in the system properties AND it's syncing with a timesource that gives you the RIGHT time (for that places, that is "one hour away" from you).
have a look in the control panel at "regional and languages settings", looking for "location" and double-check the clock, looking for fuse settings.

Check the following:
1. Current time and date on all your DC's
2. Time source you sync with - should be on one or more DC's based on how your setup.
3. Time Zones on your DC's
4. Any user that has administrative access to the servers/DC's - Are they causing this?
5. Run an AV scan on all boxes.
