Current time on my computer and on the network don't match.......e

I'm an Admin, but don't know what this error is, hoping someone might have
run across it:

"The current time on this computer and the current time on the network are
different. For more information about Date/Time properties, see Help and
Support. To log on, Contact your system administrator."

Thanks for any help.

You apparently are syncing your computer's time with an NTP server and
the server's time settings are too far off from yours. Perhaps the
server doesn't have the DST patch applied. This error would normally
happen in a domain which is why you are instructed to contact your sysadmin.

More information about your computer and your network will help us give
you focused troubleshooting.

Thanks. I installed the dst patch, but found she installed a Dynamics utility
that changed her workstation date/time behind a month.

Thanks for your help!

Ah yes, the old User Error! Glad you got it sorted and thanks for taking
the time to let me know.

My Solution:

1.) Remove Computer from Domain (AD) (Unable to determine if needed)
2.) Login locally with Administrative Privilages
3.) Open command prompt
4.) Do: net use \\servername /user:username
\\computername - name of server to set net time sync.
5.) Do: net time \\servername /set
6.) Reconnect computer to Domain (if needed)
7.) Reboot
