I was wondering how you determined the change of 1 minute per 2 or 3
days, since this server appears not to sync up to anything and the
eventlog doesn't complain about a missing timesync (confirming the
above), would any difference in time compared to other (correctly
synced) systems not explain the difference because of hardware clock drift?

One (maybe not such a practical) way to test this would be to shut the
system off for a few days, and then compare the bios clock to a know
correct source.

Not much help I'm afraid...

What speed is this system moving at?

;-)

On a more serious note: doesn't the eventlog tell you anything?

Obviously it is running too slow (1 minute every 2-3 days)
No entries in the eventlog!- Zitierten Text ausblenden -

We are running our programs on that server and based on logfiles we
figured out that the time changes, so installed a program that checks
the time and tells us that the time is being synchronized every 2 to 3
days by 1 minute.
I think you are right that the OS time synchronizes with the bios
time. How can this be stopped? Or how can one sync that more often
that the time jumps are smaller?
