Hello,

I have 2 customers who recently reported the same issue, which I have not seen in the past. Suddenly and without any apparent reason, the SmartView Tracker started showing wrong times on the logs generated by the gateways, tests have proven that events that are currently occuring, are showing with a difference of several hours from the actual current time.
I read, a few threads bellow, that a couple of guys mentioned an issue with automatic Daylight savings settings that change the time by one hour and causing an exact 1 hour delay, but here we are talking about random ranges (in one of the cases) of several hours.

One of my customers has a SmartCenter running over Windows 2003 and 2 firewall modules running over SPLAT as HA active/stanby cluster, on this case the difference between the actual time and the time reported by the logs generated by the gateways starts increasing until it reaches 12 hours and stays there, changing time on the sysconfig menu to match whatever is configured on the Smartcenter does not seem to cause any efect, the problem remains. This customer runs NGXR60 HFA01 and has seen random changes in the BIOS clock of at least one of the machines running a gateway.

As mentioned, a second customer has the same issue but he has everything running over SPLAT, a Smartcenter managing two Check Point Express HA active/standby clusters, only one of the clusters showing wrong times and on this case the difference between the real time and the one reported on the logs changes ramdomly everytime they try to fix the issue. This guy has NGAI R55 HFA16.

Has anyone seen this in the past, I would really appreciate any help.

Regards.
