Synchronize time settings on host computers

For all computers hosting PI Server server roles and individual features, you must ensure that the time is set correctly and synchronized to Data Archive. In addition, ensure that all Windows machines have the proper time-zone settings and are set to automatically adjust for daylight-saving changes.

We recommend that you synchronize the Data Archive clock with a network time protocol (NTP) server.
