Synchronize Time with a Time Server

If you have monitoring devices in different time zones, set each CA Virtual Systems Monitor to its local time zone and use a time server such as NTP to make sure the system time is accurate. Time is converted to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Follow these steps:

1. Open a Command Prompt and run the following command:

   net time /querysntp
   

   Make a note of the SNTP server name.

2. Replace <NTPServer> in the following command with the SNTP server name returned in the query:

   net time /setsntp:<NTPServer>
   

3. Configure Windows Time Service to start automatically.
4. Restart the computer.
