[Casper] Dual Boot - Time Sync Issues

[Ernst, Craig S.]

I've found in OS X that even though it's pointed there, like you do and I do, in date and time, it doesn't update at start. Recent times it won't updated until I login with a local account, go to the system preferences, and open date and time...then it kicks off.

 Well under system preferences if I just point my OS X side to the time server it always works and I do that in my master image.  On the windows side we have Novell push it out so whenever you log in, it gets pushed out, or perhaps it is done by some other container unit not sure as I don't manage the Novell side really.

 We do as well, but if the service doesn't get forced to check it...no love. =)

 This is why we run our own internal time sync server so every client is on the same page.

 Just when I thought I finally had my Dual Boot deployment all dialed in.. I ran into one final hurdle!

Has anyone else had issues with the clock being out of sync when switching back and forth between Mac OS X and Windows Vista? (Both Operating systems bound to AD)

I do have the Mac side pointed towards our district time server, and Windows 'should' pull from our AD server. The problem on the Windows side is that since the system on boot is so far off on time, it never seems to sync with the AD server. (Also locks non-local users out since there is no sync with AD at that point).

I have run the AppleTime.exe as a startup service on the Windows side, and also checked any other Time Zone settings I can think of between both OS's and no luck.

I can go in and set both sides with the correct times and they will hold hold for awhile (roughly an hour or so). But in any case, after some amount of time the clocks get out of sync and then we have AD login issues on both OS's.

I know there are quite a few of you guys out there running dual-deployment, so have you run into this issue at all?

Thanks for any ideas!
