Topic: Windows Time Service
I've got an old standalone pc with a dead RTC battery running Win2K Pro.
I'm migrating off of it, so it's not worth replacing the battery. Since I
have an always-on internet connection, I thought it would be educational to
enable the Windows Time Service and set the time on each boot instead.
My firewall is allowing SNTP and I'm connecting successfully to
tick.usno.navy.mil, but on startup, my event log says "Attempt to set time
which differs by more than 12 hours aborted".
How can I set the time on boot with the built-in service despite the large
difference due to my dead RTC clock?
I have a workaround using a third-party utility, but this is bugging me.
