Time Drift

A Windows condition where the system time is out of sync with the time server.

There are several indicators of time drift:

• inaccurate logon restrictions
• certificate errors
• virus scans being ran at wrong times
• inaccurate authentication expiration

Time drift can be solved by:

• Settings the Windows Time Service to start automatically
• manually changing the date and time
• increasing the max tolerance for clock synchronization to 5 minute
