The computer did not resync because the required time was change to big w32tm /rsync

Written by SA

My computer defaults to a 2002 date when it boots. When I tried to run w32tm /resync it shows this error:

The computer did not resync because the required time was change to big

This is easy to fix. From the command line add one more parameter to the w32tm command:

w32tm /resync /force

  6. Oh my god I really can’t thank you enough for this, been through all the forums and sites, tried all their methods with no success. Adding this one /force actually solved all the issue for me. Thank you!
