Re: Weird system calendar event

[Richard Stovall]

What OS?  If XP, check "net time /querysntp".  If 7 or Vista, check "w32tm
/query /source".  Just to see if it's syncing with an undesired NTP server.

I think the most likely scenario is that a user changed the time*, but who
knows?

* They can't do that, IIRC, unless they're either admins on their boxes or
have been given the right through group policy.
