• Why do we change time?

    Posted on March 6, 2022 at 11:10 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Next week in the USA comes my “bleary eye week”.  It’s the week that the time changes and I lose an hour of sleep during a time of year that I’m already working long hours. Everyone in my office really HATES next week and really wish that this whole concept of moving the clock would stop. While all of our computers automatically change, they need help too.  While you may think that we don’t change this process, it’s honestly amazing how many patches we get to change date and time zones.

    In businesses, if you still have an on premises domain controller, it’s wise to sync the server to an external time clock and then have your workstations look to the domain controller.

    On a standalone computer, most of the time you can let the computer do it’s thing. On rare occasion you may see that it’s off in it’s time. Typically this is when the CMOS battery on the motherboard needs to be replaced.  You can also decide if you want a different time server.

    Bottom line, get extra sleep this week as you’ll be losing an hour next week.
