Hi, I am having trouble logging on to a machine on our domain. When the user enters there username and password and click logon they get the following logon message: The current time on this computer and the current time on the network are different. For more about date/time properties, see help and support. To logon, contact your network administrator. Well, I am the administrator and i don't know what is going on. I tried to get around it by unplugging the network cable and logging on using stored credentials, which allowed me to access the system and then i plugged the network cable back in, but the special software we need to use on the computer doesn't work because the computer isn't logged on to the domain, which is a real pain. I thought after logging on locally or trying the above and restarting the computer would resolve the problem but it didn't. every time i try to logon to the domain i get that message. I have even tried different usernames and logging on as administrator but that has no effect. This is the only computer out of 50 pc's that does this. Does anyone know what may be going on? Thanks

THIS may help as it did for another person with same problem. You don't need to register to see the solution - just scroll down the page to see it. HTH i_XpUser

I suggest you sync the time with the domain controller. Sometimes various authentication/directory services require the time to be in sync with the authentication server. If there is too much of a time discrepancy, then you can't login. I have this same problem on Linux systems using nisplus (an old authentication/directory service developed by Sun)...if the workstation time is off by more than 3 minutes of the nisplus server time then our workstations will not login.

It is the time. Correct it as above. I thought AD was 5 minutes but it has to be close. Sync time with ntp service either locally or web. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
