Checking Time Synchronization (Directory Services Repair)
Use this procedure on the server before or after performing a repair. It allows
you to contact all servers within this server’s local database to request
information about NDS and time synchronization.
If a replica of the root partition is contained on this server, then all servers in
the Directory tree are contacted.
Time synchronization is very important to NetWare Directory Services. All
servers in a tree must be synchronized to the same time source. If they are
not, collision will occur when objects in replicas are synchronized.
