    Time setting / Time Zone question

    Hi Folks,

    I've just noticed that my Apex is running an hour behind actual time. It's using a working NTP server and is set to automatic update.

    I am in GMT and the time zone is set to 0. Any ideas why it's an hour behind?

    Thanks

    Rob

    Is Daylight Savings Time enabled? Do you use that in the UK?

    Yes we do and it is. Is that a manual switch?

    It's automatic based off American DST standards that begins the second Sunday in March and completes the first Sunday in November. Because the EU starts the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October there will be a few weeks a year that it won't match up with your clock.

    Ok, but it should be matching at the moment and is an hour behind. Best to manually set and then link back to the NTP service?

    Do you have UTC set to 0?

    I've disabled Auto Clock Set, corrected the time and re-enabled it. Hopefully it will stick.

    Thanks for your help
