Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. All client computers are members of the domain and run Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3).
A user attempts to log on to her portable computer and receives the following error message.
You need to ensure that the user can log on to the computer by using her domain account.
What should you do?
A.
Instruct the user to restart her computer.
B.
On a domain controller, run Net time /set /y.
C.
On a domain controller, reset the portable computer’s computer account.
D.
On a domain controller, force replication between all domain controllers.
How “A” can work? “B” is working perfectly on my virtual network, and I can’t see how restarting computer can fix issue with not correct time??
Its A. How is “net time /set /y” an answer to you? If you ran that command on the portable computer while logged into a local admin account and added the /domain option then sure. Otherwise its pointless, setting the time on the Domain Controller is only relevant if you hear that EVERYONE is getting that message. Right now we only know that one user is getting that, she has a portable computer which means at some point she was not on our network and probably synced with a domain controller in another time zone (lets say she traveled) and just never turned the PC off in between. A reset will have it resync up with the current DC and fix the time.
You’re right – I checked it on client computer and question is about runing Net time /set /y on DC. Makes sense.
