System time is not in sync with Domino time

A funny thing happened to our servers on multiple occasions. Server system time was not equal to Domino server time. Some times they were even as much as 5 minutes apart.
After contacting IBM support and filling that standard questionnaire, they provided us with a link to knowledge-base article containing a solution.
To summarize an article…
1) If you are running 8.0.2, install fix-pack 1 immediately. This will solve the issue.
2) If you are running inferior versions, you can use SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL ini file parameter. Values are:
- SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL = 1 – every 5min (default)
- SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL = 2 – every 1min
- SERVER_TIMESYNC_INTERVAL = 3 – every 60min
- SERVER_DISABLE_TIMESYNC = 1 – disable polling
Remember to restart the server after applying this setting.

For those that want to set it via the Domino Console, it is nice to have a sync command:
set systemtime
synchronizes the OS time to Domino. Domino answers with something like:
Domino time reset to the system time. 06/29/2009 15:23:19
Thanks for sharing this info with us.
