I have a workstation that consistantly runs ahead 7 minutes in the windows environment.
Time time stays current when not in the windows environment and when not connected to the network in the windows environment. I installed a new hard drive and loaded only windows 2000 and the time stayed correct. I'm wondering how time find at what point the software conflict is occuring (that's what I've narrowed it down to). Any ideas?

Is the time set correct on the server? Is the server set up to poll a site for time (an internet time server for example)?

I'm guessing you're probably more interested in an explanation than a solution (or workaround). If the problem is not with the CMOS battery then I don't have a clue.

If you're just wanting a workaround, download and install Tardis and set it up to sync time with another server.
