SYMPTOMS
After you have corrected the date and time on a site server (the site server was previously set to a future date), you notice that statistics for site components do not correspond to actual events.



CAUSE
The information contained in the site server's daily status buckets was created at the time when the server was incorrectly set to a future date and time. The Status Summarizers determine when the site server was last running by scanning the data store for the latest LastContacted field, and the Status Summarizers use this value for a starting point to determine if counters need to be cleared. Because this time is in the future and not in the past, the tallies are not cleared.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, wait for each future date threshold to be crossed, at which time, the buckets are zeroed and the statistics become accurate again.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
For a variety of reasons, it is important to maintain consistent date and times on your Systems Management Server site servers, as well as on all clients.
