The time service has detected that the system time needs to
be changed by 190800 seconds. The time service will not change the system time
by more than 172800 seconds. Verify that your time and time zone are correct,
and that the time source DC Server Name
(ntp.d|0.0.0.0:123->172.16.0.75:123) is working properly.

Hi Syed,
>The time service has detected that the system time needs to be changed by 190800 seconds. The time service will not change the system time by more than 172800 seconds. Verify that your time and time zone are correct, and that the time source DC Server
Name (ntp.d|0.0.0.0:123->172.16.0.75:123) is working properly.
According to above message, you may need to logon to the server and make sure the time zone is set correctly.
You may follow the below step to sync time:
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to
Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
Type w32tm /resync, and then press ENTER.
