Synchronize System Time

Synchronize the system time among all servers that have CA Network Flow Analysis components installed, unless the system time is synchronized automatically. We also recommend that you synchronize the system time for any Linux servers in your deployment and and for the server that hosts CA Performance Center.

This topic describes an approach for synchronizing system time on Windows Server 2008 servers.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user who is a member of the Administrators group.
2. Right-click the date or time on the right edge of the taskbar and select 'Adjust date/time.'

   The Date and Time dialog opens.

3. Click the Internet Time tab.
4. Click 'Change settings.'

   The Internet Time Settings dialog opens.

5. Select the 'Synchronize with an Internet time server' check box.
6. Select the server with which you want to synchronize. The default selection is time.windows.com.
7. Click 'Update Now.'

   The system time is synchronized with the selected server.

8. Click OK in the Internet Time Settings dialog.
9. Click OK in the Date and Time dialog.

Note: If you have collection devices in different time zones, set each device to its local time zone. Times are converted to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
