 Post subject: Should System Clock be set automatically?

Jorge:

I have the WorkShelf clock module set for a 1 hour interval on checking the Internet Time Servers. However, it does not seem to do it, or something else is wrong. Almost every day there is about a 4 minute difference between the actual time and my computer's system clock. If I use either your "Check Atomic Clock" context menu option or another piece of software that checks the time for me, the clock gets set correctly.

So the question is, should WorkShelf be automatically updating clock at the set interval? If so, why would my time consistently get off by around 4 minutes each day?

Mouse over the clock module. What does it say?

It should tell you the last time the time was synchronized and the time difference between your clock and the one provided by the time servers.

Right now it says last check: 6:41:43, clocks matches. It's now 7:43 and it has not checked again. And my clock is 4 minutes and 51 seconds off (checked with another program that reports the time from a time server, but does not change the time).

Just looked again....it claims to have changed the time back at 7:42 and that it was 292 seconds ahead! It did, in fact, change the time.

I believe I figured out the problem. It has nothing to do with Winstep. My Win2K8 server is not tracking the time correctly and it keeps setting back the time on all my clients!

Sorry for the inconvenience.
