Windows Server plays an essential role in organizations of all kinds thanks to each of its functions, roles and characteristics that allow comprehensive, global and functional administration of each object of the organization, we are talking about users, computers, printers, shared resources and plus..

 

 

When Windows Server 2016, 2019 or 2022 is installed, the time and date are assigned based on the user's location, this is something natural in this process but there may come a time when it is necessary to change the date and time for some task administrative or because the server changes its geographical location, be careful not to do this operation in an environment where the users are still working, since we can cause access problems to the shared resources.
