Current Time

[Soulless]

I got strange message this morning on a Windows XP machine whilst trying to logon onto our network. The error message is
"The current time on this computer and the current time on the network are different", so it wont let me log on.
I get the same message if I try and logon using the same creditenials on other machines.
Any ideas?

If you are the network manager, check the times on the servers & on the other machines.

The times on the server and the other machines are fine.
The machine that has the problem also has the same time as the server.

It is not the server per se that is important, it is whatever has been set as the authoratative time server for the Domain:

To resynch the workstation clock:
"After you set the SNTP time server as authoritative, run either of the following commands on a computer other than the domain controller to reset the local computer's time against the authoritative time server:

net time /your domain name /set

Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:
net stop w32time
w32tm –once
net start w32time"
