GSNW/CSNW Does Not Support Time Synchronization with NetWare

Last reviewed: March 21, 1997
Article ID: Q129833
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you connect to your preferred NetWare server through the Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Service for NetWare (CSNW), Windows NT does not automatically synchronize the time with the NetWare server. The time is not synchronized even when you use the NET TIME command or the NetWare SYSTIME command.

CAUSE

The Windows NT GSNW and CSNW do not support the 16-bit NetWare API for system time synchronization with the NetWare server.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
