[Katrina-IT-Volunteers] Computer clocks not set correctly

[Dale Thompson]

Thanks Edward.  I will let AMD know we're experience this.  Unfortunately, I'm just now getting to check my e-mails and Kevin Rogers who works for AMD was going to be volunteering tonight between 6 and 8 - or I would have asked him to check it out when he came in.  Dale

  Subject: [Katrina-IT-Volunteers] Computer clocks not set correctly


  On my last shift there was a person who could not fill out a job application because it prompted him to enter in the dates that he had worked, but the clock on the computer was set to something like Feb. 2, 2005 so it wouldn't let him fill out the form because the computer was indicating the dates he worked were in the future.  I corrected the computer clock and it fixed the problem for this individual, but I am not sure if the clocks are automatically reset (to some wrong date/time) when the computers are rebooted.  This may also be a problem if people are filling out other forms where (what the computer thinks) is the current date is automatically filled in.  In this case, it might not be caught and cause who knows what kind of bureaucratic issues.  Just something for us to look for and be aware of.
