Set the server time

You have the option on the Admin login to sync the time on-demand

->

Why don't you add it to your scheduled jobs so it runs automatically?

Add to root's crontab:

    0,30 * * * * /etc/ntpdate ntp.demon.co.uk >/dev/null

This will update the date and time every 30 mins.

Keeping the PC's time correct

The PC's will generally work on their own time, this can give a problem if the clock drifts you suddenly find mail with the wrong date stamps, files on the share don't update as they are in the future etc.

• Use Notepad (or Wordpad) on the PC
• Add one line

  net time \\server_name /yes /set
  

• Where you replace server_name with the name of the EnServe host.
• Save the document as 'time.bat'
• Right click 'time.bat' -> Properties -> Program and select 'Close on Exit' -> Click OK
• Drag and drop this to the desktop - now clicking it will set the PC's time to that of the server.
• You can also drag and drop it into the start menu so it runs everytime the system starts up.
