All Computers Networked in School are Ten Minutes Late

Asked By thalia ming 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/14/2012

We are using sixty computers in our High School. The OS installed for all system is Windows XP and we also have a Windows 2003 Server. The problem is the all computers are ten minutes late from the actual time. Even though we have changed the time to actual time it is just getting back to ten minutes late very quickly. The students are always ten minutes late as the ID’s are scanned. So I consider this matter as urgent and please give me a solution.

How are you changing the time of the computers? If you are using the simple way of going to the control panel and changing the regional and time settings from there, then I will suggest that you try the following:

• Try changing the time settings from the BIOS of the computer. To enter the BIOS, you will need to restart your computer and when the computer is booting press F8. You will enter the BIOS mode and then change the date and time settings from there and then save the changes.
• You will also need to try changing the time on the server. If you are just changing the time on the computer and not changing the server time then that may be the cause of the problem.
