still remain in the XP Performance Advisor database and appear on the Event Log screen.

2. Select User Settings.
The User Settings screen appears.

Setting time zone for management stations
XP Performance Advisor enables you to select a time zone for your management station. This ensures
that the management station is synchronized with the time zone where it resides.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the date and time on the management station and hosts are synchronized with the local
time zone to receive accurate configuration data. This condition is also applicable for the client systems
that use the IE browser to access XP Performance Advisor on a management station, and systems that
have CLUI software installed.
To set the management station time:
1. Click Settings in the left pane.
