Though about NTP??

[Steven E. Protter]

shalom mark

vi /etc/ntp.conf

Put in a valid time source either on your nework, or one you find from http://www.npt.org

chkconfig --list | grep ntp
chkconfig on
#example chckconfig xntpd on

service xntpd start

ntpq -p

# Checks if you are synching to a time source.

I didn't know they had clocks in those bitty little blades.

Linux AS4 up 64bit OS install
32bit linux server is normal but
only 64bit OS is not sync
Time check Controller is 64bit 100HZ.
it's problem?

Whell, we had problems with the time of our servers until we used NTP (with external source).

Clock drift could be considered normal, unless you use NTP, you cannot warranty that your systems will have the same time.

Also, check your TIMEZONE.

Another thing to watch out for is RDP. By default, RDP and NTP will fight over the time. Look in /opt/altiris/deployment/adlagent/conf/adlagent.conf.

There's a line similar to:

SyncTimeWithServer=true

Make sure it's false.
