I understand Novell doesn't have this problem, apparently they serialize their time so the clock knows that it's off in regards to jobs and it either speeds up or slows down slightly until it adjusts back to the correct time.I'm glad that I don't work with Novell. 😀
Ah - but synthetic time can be VERY useful, since it allows you to keep everything sequenced appropriately.... What if you screwed up the server's date and time by, say - one full day when you set it up? And you mess up while you are traying to get the right time back into play....
After all - this wouldn't be the first technology that got "ported" or "adopted", or "renamed" (however you like to characterize features designed by Novell somehow appearing with new names and largely the same functionality in MS products....) Hmm let's see if we can remember a few...NDS (ADS) or ZenWorks (Microsoft SMS server)...

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
