Windows 10: Workstations keep loosing time and date. How do I sync with the Server on our Local Area...

Hello,


We have a Network of 6 workstations running Windows 10, connected to a server running Windows Server 2012R2. It is not connected to the internet for security reasons.

At least once a day a couple of the workstations loose the time and date. Sometimes going back 5+ years. The server has always kept perfect time.

Our temporarily fixes have been to restart the workstations and 80% of the time they find the correct time.

My question is how can I get each work station to sync with the server each time it starts up?


Thanks,

Al

Hello Al, my name is Farah and I'm an Independent Adviser. I can help you regarding this problem

is your network a domain network or a simple work-groub?

If you have a domain network, your workstations gets the time from the server directly, and there is no chance that they are mis-syncing. it could be a hardware issue, the CMOS "or motherboard" battery could dying.

Try un-joining on of the client and join them again as a test, and see if it gets better

if not, you need to replace the battery on one of them

Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes.

Cheers!

Farah
