-------------------------------
Summary: Allow Windows to update time regardless of skew
Key: VCL-1069
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1069
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: vcld (backend)
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Fix For: 2.5
By default, Windows will only automatically update its time from an NTP server
if the Windows computer's time is within 15 hours of the correct time. It's
possible for an image to load and the computer's time be off by more than this
value. Registry settings can be adjusted to allow the time to update
regardless of skew:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\ConfigMaxPosPhaseCorrection
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config\MaxNegPhaseCorrection
Improving the chances that the time is correct will increase the chances that
KMS activation will succeed, a step which occurs later on in the post-load
stage. Activation fails if the computer's time is incorrect.
