Dual Boot Time

[merdrum21]

I am having an issue where when I’m booted into the Leopard partition the time is set correctly. AD logins work. When I restart into the the windows partition of BootCamp and then back again. The time is off. This causes a huge delay in logins since students cannot login until the Mac syncs its time again with time.apple.com

Is there a fix so that the time can be consistent across OS’s? Or should I run something a script or have my TIger Server use MCX to update the time at the login screen.

The easiest way I have found is to change the way windows stores time, basically so it uses UTC for the hardware clock instead of local time. To do this just change this registry entry. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
“RealTimeIsUniversal”=dword:00000001

You could also put this into a .reg file that just needs to be double clicked in windows.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
“RealTimeIsUniversal”=dword:00000001
