Time service reverting by 5 hours

[Dave]

I have a Windows 2003 server running and the time reverts by 5 hours
periodically for no apparent reason. I have not been able to determine
a pattern but it appears to be at least once an hour. I have checked
the time source and the date/time settings and they are ok. If I run
the net time command the time corrects itself as expected. This is
obviously causing some security and authentication issues that I need
to get resolved. Any thoughts?

When you run " net time /querysntp "
Is a proper time service returned? This server has access to the internet?
You could try to configure it to sync with a NTP box by:

net type /setsntp:time.windows.com

Any event IDs chirping about the time service?

These are integrated IBM servers and it turns out the setting is
coming from there. Thanks for the reply though.

Have you checked your time setting after you boot into
setup? The time might be wrong in your bios.
