If you use calendar features in older versions of Outlook (pre-2007), or similar software, you may need to get an update for them.
If your PC clock is slower/faster by more than half an hour, you should correct that.
Unfortunately each system/OS is different. However all need/should use
NTP. We have 3 NTP servers:
time.stonybrook.edu (Stratum 1 CDMA digital cellular telephony systems) tick.stonybrook.edu (Stratum 2) tock.stonybrook.edu (Stratum 2)If your system cannot use NTP and it is looking for "daytime" or "time", you can use:
tick.stonybrook.edu tock.stonybrook.edu
Most computer systems, and a number of other devices such as PDAs, Webcams, VCRs etc. use Universal Time internally and work out local time using a list of rules. Unless the rules are updated, the computer clocks will be an hour wrong for most of March. This may cause problems ranging from email apparently arriving before it was sent, to missed appointments or missed flights. (I for one always set my watch from my computer, since NTP keeps it accurate to a fraction of a second).
