About NetVault Time

NetVault designates a Time Server, called NetVault Time Server, to synchronize time on the server and all client machines in the NetVault Domain. Typically, the NetVault Server acts as the NetVault Time Server, and the system time on this machine is the NetVault Time. However, you can designate any other NetVault machine as the NetVault Time Server. NetVault ignores the local time on the clients and uses NetVault Time for all time-specific operations, such as job scheduling, reporting, and tracing.
