SYMPTOMS
When you use the 'net time \\servername /set /y' command to synchronize the time on a client computer in a domain running Microsoft Windows 95 to a time server computer running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 that is in a different domain and the time server is not in the same time zone as the client, you may incorrectly change the time on the client to the time on the time server.



CAUSE
The cause is unknown.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, configure a time server for each domain in each time zone.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Nettime.exe utility that is included on the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit CD-ROM to replace the 'net time' command. This utility performs the WIN32 function calls that gather the time information from the client computer, compares the time zone information to that of the time server, and then makes the appropriate time zone adjustment on the client computer.
