how much has my server time been adjusted by?
I have a server that runs a SQL job every minute. A contractor is telling me that the SQL job is not running as planned because the Windows server is adjusting its time too much. What I need to know is based on the following log entry, how do I tell how
much the time has been adjusted? Was it adjusted forward? backward?
just as an fyi, the server in question is a Server 2008 R2 virtual machine with a Server 2008 R2 domain controller in the same site.
The system time has changed to 2011-11-11T09:35:09.574000000Z from 2011-11-11T09:35:09.574016000Z.

Richard-
Thanks very much for your help. If you have a free moment, I would love some assistance with a script that could parse this. Basically, I want to connect to a server, find the time change events in the Windows Event Logs, note the time of the event, the
original time, the changed time and the difference for each event within a given time frame. Is there a good way to do this with PowerShell?-K. Mortensen

If I read the message correctly, the time was moved back by 0.000016 seconds. The time moved from 09.574016 seconds to 09.574000 seconds.

Hi,
If you would like to find a way to do this with PowerShell, I suggest you ask in PowerShell forum:
