Windows XP: Time Changing With Windows Time Service Disabled
For a little while now, I had a couple of systems that were having kerberos issues because the system clocks were a little over five minutes ahead. Turns out a browser plugin these systems were running to view security camera footage was advancing the clock. This occurred because the system storing the video was not syncing its clock to anything and happened to be, you guessed it, a little over five minutes ahead of actual time. Some how the browser plugin was overriding the windows time service. When I disabled the windows time service as part of my troubleshooting, the clock was still changing to five minutes ahead if set to the correct time. I changed the time settings on the video server and both systems started showing the correct time. A very difficult problem to track down.
