(Not a joke, though the title sounds like one)
Two of the computers in my company are randomly adding on minutes - something near six minutes in the course of a day, even. They're domain controllers, so every other computer in the company needs to be within five minutes of one of the two servers, so this rapid time-gain isn't good for them. Sure, six minutes over the course of a day isn't bad, and correctable, but... why is it happening?
My supervisor thinks it's because of the battery backups they use. I installed a time sync program (World Time) which worked fine, but didnt seem to inititate syncs while the computers were locked - during which they went out of sync again.
