Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service because the clocks on the client and on the server machine are skewed

Question

Each time I restart this exchange server, the Information Store and System Attendant don't start. If It try to manually start the services, I get the follow errors:
Event ID 5003:
Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service because the clocks on the client and on the server machine are skewed. This may be caused by a time change either in the client or the server machine, and may require a reboot of that machine. Other than that, verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online.
Event ID 1005:
Unexpected error The clocks on the client and server machines are skewed. ID no: 80090324 Microsoft Exchange System Attendant  occurred.
The clocks on the domain controllers and the exchange server are set to the same time zones. As well, all three clocks are in sync down to the second. Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Run this Command from the Exchange Server
Net time \\ADServerName /Set
and confirm the action,
and then you need to restart the service
Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
and confirm you are not getting the Error 4001 in the event Viewer.
Thank you, it resolved my issue after being sweating looking for solution.
How can I prevent this from happening? I cannot restart services on each server reboot nor lose 5 years of my life!!!
