Posted September 27, 200717 yr Hello all Ich have some Windows XP sp2 machines (hp D530sff) in a Windows 2003 sp1 domain. This machines are switched off from power after work. The RTC on the mainboards is shifting slowly away, so i get diffs of some minutes after a some months. When the pcs are running for about two hours, the time inside Windows has been adjusted to the domain. But after the the pcs are powered off over night, and switched on the next day, the same growing difference in time is back again. Of course i can set the time inside BIOS, but after 6 month it goes some minutes faster or slower. Should Windows adjust the time (RTC) on the Mainboard automatically? The settings of W32Time in registry are the same as described by the available Microsoft docs. There is no GPO active then default domainpolicy. The only difference in registry is that HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer InputProvider has a value of 0. Regards Albert
